You probably have a character set mis-match between Samba, Unix and/or
the clients?
I use iso-8859-1 on Linux, and have "unix charset = ISO8859-1" in
smb.conf. You may also need to define "dos charset = ..." in smb.conf,
but maybe not.
If you use UTF8 on the Linux side, you need "unix charset = UTF8" in
smb.conf.
If you mount smb shares with "mount -t smbfs ..." you may also need to
specify charset options (iocharset= and codepage=).
