samba 3.0.22
debian woody.
linux charset: iso8859-15
windows charset iso8859-15
tested parameters:
unix charset = ISO_8859-15
display charset = ISO_8859-15
unix charset = ISO-8859-15
unix charset = iso8859-15
unix charset = utf8
unix charset = UTF8
unix charset = LOCALE
problem:
files are seen in windows correct iso8859 named.
if i look at the linux server, there are encrypted special characters in
the filenames. (e.g. "Entwürfe" looks like "EntwÃ1/4rfe")
i've tested a long time and today i've tried to convert the filename:
sv01samba:/# echo EntwÃ1/4rfe | iconv -f utf8 -t iso8859-15
Entwürfe
in my view, it seems, that samba ignores the given "unix charset" parameter.
