Furthermore, when I access a samba share from any XP machine, file/directory names on the Linux machine with non-ASCII characters e.g."Gé Reinders" will display wrongly, with box replacing 'é'.
I solved my problems with accented characters by using: dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = UTF-8 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
