AW: [Samba] unicode conversion

[Michel Jouvin]

Bjoern,

I have the same problem (see thread incorrect handling of files with 
accentuated chars) with french accentuated chars. convmv allows samba not 
to truncate the filename but the converted character is not the right one. 
I tried different value for -f.

An example :

- I have a filename with french 'é' in it. In Samba 2.2.8 (and previous 
versions, I never had any pb), it was encoded as character \202.
- If I run convmv (-f iso-8859-1 -t utf8), this character is translated to 
2 chars \302\202 which is not displayed as é by Samba 3.
- If I create a new file under Samba v3 with the french 'é' in the name, it 
is encoded as \303\251.

In these tests, Samba v3 is running with default unix charset (not defined 
in smb.conf) and Samba v2 was running with default settings too.

Any idea ?

Michel
