Hi,

Clients are default Windows XP keyborad type ABNT2, I suppose using 
unicode UTF8?

There is an charset mis-match below? Between Samba 3.0.4 and Linux RH 9.0?

Please, which values do you recommends for Portugues Brazil?

smb.conf
unix charset = LOCALE
display charset = UTF-8
dos charset = UTF-8


i18n
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="lat1-16"

Cheers, Juliano Krieger.
