Package: samba Version: 3.0.21a-4 Severity: minor Tags: l10n upstream Hi,
Currently, one has to manually set display charset and unix charset in smb.conf for getting non-ascii letters working. I don't understand why display charset currently defaults to ASCII and unix charset defaults to UTF8. Can't they just both default to the current locale ? (particularly display charset). This would make accented letters work in hardly every usual case, and possibly fix some of the charset bugs that were reported against samba. Note smbmount should pass to the kernel the current locale charset too. It would possibly make people working on the same machine but with different charsets be happy too.
