Did it ever work for you, and stopped working? We had sometimes specific clients that had problems with hebrew filenames, client-side problems. They simply stopped working. It was always a client configuration problem - not on samba. You can try a Localized Hebrew Win98, and after it works move to 2000/XP (which are more complex). The only (relevant) option we use is 'valid chars'. I also wrote a patch that causes samba to save the names in ISO8859-8 (instead of CP862), but this is only relevant for reading the files from the server (or via NFS) - it never made a change on the client side (assuming you do not move between patched and unpatched sambas). You can get it from <http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~didi>. BTW, we still use samba 2.2.2, but I think the changes since then aren't relevant. > > Any other ideas anyone?
