[Samba] 0x95

[soham mehta]

Hi!

Hope this is the right way to post messages to samba
mailing list; apologies if not; am trying for the
first time.

I recently installed Samba2.2.7. It is holding
roaming profiles of about 50 users. All clients are
winXP machines.

Yesterday, we received a few hundred files with
strange character - HEX 95 in the file name. I saved
those on my desktop and then logged off. Samba
copied my profile back to the server in the process,
obviously including those files.

However, in doing that, Samba replaced that strange
character with 0x007 . Now when I login back to any
client, and while my profile is being copied over,
WinXP does not accept file-names with that 
character (007). The operation fails, and it logs me
with a local profile.

Now, how do I make my Samba server smart enough not
to change the characters this way ? Is this a
characterset problem ?

Few other details which might help:

-all clients use code-page 437. chcp gives 437 on
all clients.

-I tried "valid chars" parameter in smb.conf, but
doesnt help. "valid chars = 0225:0225"

-I tried using "client code page = 437" explicitly,
to change it from default 850, but did not help. Is
there a specific character-set I have to deal with
for code-page 437 ?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
