And when I use the newest version (2.2.6), if the client use multibyte NETBIOS name, then the client can not share anything with the SAMBA server.   At the same time, I can use multibyte NETBIOS name in any Microsoft Windows production,  and share any file or printer service to each other.

It looks like the multibyte NetBIOS naming support was broken in
the 2.2.x releases. As we're aiming to release Samba 3.0 as soon
as possible we probably won't be doing a patch for this immediately.

However, the APPLIANCE_HEAD cvs branch does has this fix included,
and I'm committed to testing and making sure this is fixed in
the Samba 3.0 release (CVS branch SAMBA_3_0).
