I use Suse 5.2 with a 2.2.7 kernel. SuSE rules ;)
I had a rather straightforward solution called "switch to a hebrew font on
your ftp client" yet that same client with that same font selected DID see
hebrew filenames from a win32 ftp server (that serves the same files from
the linux machine using samba) and did NOT see hebrew on the linux
WU-ftpd.
I'll use the opportunity to jack the 2.2.9 kernel, and will try your
suggestion. thanks.
