Problem: I recently recognized that my samba server was misconfigured for some years now. I never used the charset and "client code page" parameters in my smb.conf to map windows encoded filenames with german umlauts to the unix ones. For that reason I now have lots of filenames with windows encoded german umlauts on my samba-share. OK. Now I want to change this fact (softly). When I insert client code page = 850 character set = iso8859-1 in smb.conf, files containing windows encoded german umlauts are not visible any more. I would be nice if they are displayed in a what-so-ever form, so people have a chance to rename the files. I played around with the valid chars parameter, but had no success. I increased the loglevel and found the following lines for a file I named aä.txt (windows encoded so in fact the filename is a\204.txt, 204 beeing an octal number):
[2003/12/03 16:33:27, 5] smbd/trans2.c:get_lanman2_dir_entry(573) get_lanman2_dir_entry:Couldn't stat [./a .txt] (No such file or directory)
As you can see, because of the configured client code page, samba tries to stat a file named ./a .txt instead of a\204.txt, which would be correct.
What can I do to configure the correct code page without loosing the visiblity of filenames with german umlauts?
Any help is appreciated.
