Hello all. I have been given an assignment to mount a share automatically for each user using a given Linux machine (Mandrake 10 in this case). This is working fine, thanks to pam_mount, BUT:
The mounted share contains national characters like this: � � �. The problem I'm having is that when I mount these on Linux the '�' looks like 'o' but cannot be accessed like that. It says the file or directory doesn't exist (and it has a point). I have seen this on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server. Interestingly enough there are no problems with Windows XP, as long as I use codepage=cp850 to mount with. I have tried these codepages: cp437, cp850, cp865, cp1250, cp1251, utf8 I even tried 'latin1' just to see what would happen. I guess there is something that should be changed on the Windows machine for this to work? If so does anyone know what that would be? Part of the problem is that it is a literal 'o' that is shown in the Linux filesystem but when this filename is requested of the Windows server it of course denies any knowledge of such a thing. When I write a file that has '���' *inside* there are no problems displaying that. I have tried googling for clues for quite a while now and haven't found that much other than 'chcp 850' on the Windows machine. This doesn't seem to alleviate the problem when the Windows box is the server... Is it a matter of forcing cp850 at a much earlier state (running just chcp gives '437')? Any takers? :) -- ### Martin Moeller Liga LinDist ApS.
