[Samba] encoding problem with samba 227 ad rh80

Hello

I'm using an OOTB RH80 with recent updates, and samba 227, french language

when I access a samba share from a w98 box eveything works fine but with
accented chars
I just can't get the right filename under linux.

whatever filename I use on w98, with accented chars, it works from the w98
side (I get write and read files with their right filenames)

but when I try to access those files from linux, accented chars are either
transformed in question marks, or worse is some semi-graphic garbage which
resembles to some little square overlapped by some character. It's obvious
that it's a code-page/character-set problem, but I tried a lot of
combinations and none gave me the right filenames

I changed smb.conf "character set" and "client code page", kernel
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT and CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE, environnement variable LANG,
and so on, but I couldn't make it.

I know it's possible because I have MDK 80 boxes with samba 227 which work
fine. But in this case I need an RH80, and I think this is the problem !!!

any help much appreciated

tia
