Charset problems ...

[Rene Bartsch]

Hi,

although reading through various docs I'm still having trouble with the
charset conversion.

The Samba server is version 3.0.22 (on Gentoo).

Locales are:

   GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8
   LANG=en_US.utf8
   LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
   LC_ADDRESS=en_US.utf8
   LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
   LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8
   LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8
   LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.utf8
   LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8
   LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
   LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
   LC_NAME=en_US.utf8
   LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
   LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8
   LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.utf8
   LC_TIME=en_US.utf8

In smb.conf I've added

  dos charset          = UTF8
  unix charset         = UTF8
  display charset      = UTF8


All Linux machines use de_DE.utf8, except one on which all german umlauts
are messed up using POSIX/C.

How do I have to configure charset conversion and upper/lower case to get
the Samba server working correctly with Linux-UTF-8 clients, MacOS
clients, Windoze clients and which charset options do I have to use with
smbmount on the Linux-POSIX/C client?

Thanx for any hint

Renne
