[Samba] roaming profile, w2k and chjaracter sets - PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!

[Hendrik]

Hi,

Within Samba 3.0 it doesn't support charsets like in Samba 2.x.x.

Try this in your smb.conf GLOBAL:

[global]
        unix charset =3D CP850

Perhaps this too:

        unicode =3D Yes

I think this should help.
