Thanks for sharing this. It certainly is an excellent stopgap measure,
until proper filename conversion can be done.
The best way, if possible, would be to retain backward compatibility for
reading samba-2.2.x filenames (as with "unix charset") while having new
or modified files written in unicode (or whatever the default in
samba-3.x).
BTW: keep up the great job on your smb-ldap howto, it is a precious
ressource.
