Well, *which* locale? You're certainly aware that while the system locale can be, say fr_FR.UTF-8, users are still able to use another locale such as, say fr_FR for those who still live in stone age.... while the root users chooses to use another locale...say C because he's a dinosaur who cannot administer a system in his/her own language... So, *which* of those three locales should be used for "display charset"? Not mentioning that SWAT itself, which uses this "display charset" parameters, has no reason to depend on whatever charset of the Unix system. Finally, we're talking about locales....while these parameters are about character sets....these are quite different beasts. What I keep in your bug report is maybe the suggestion of using UTF-8 in place of ASCII for "display charset" in the default smb.conf file we provide in the Debian package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
