Package: samba
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: normal

In a debain fr UTF-8 environment, interacting with windows machines,
smbmount and smbclient seams to not use the same codepage.

It is not easy to understand which codepage is used on a windows 2000
machine. I believe it should be unicode (since NTFS use UTF-16).
It is not easy to understand which codepage is used on a debian.
It should be UTF-8, to match all windows filenames, but how to check this.

And last but not least, it is unclear which way smbclient and smbmount 
translate windows filename to unix filename.
Is ther some kind of UTF-16 to UTF-8 translation?

Where is the documentation to know about it?

Thanks.
