Does your samba handle the characters cleanly when used interactively? I.e. can you manually invoke smbclient, peruse the remote shares, and make tar archive of a directory tree containing normal** and chinese chars and then cleanly untar it on the server? jon ** Sorry for the reference to non-chinese chars as "normal", implying chinese chars were not :)) After I read what I had typed I decided to not edit it and poke fun at myself. -- Jon H.
