Hello
I have a 8.0/amd64 system serving a few Samba shares. Windows clients
write files to some of these shares using multiple languages: english,
finnish and russian. When accessed from any given Windows client, the
file and directory names all look correct. However when accessing
these same files locally, the file- and directory names that utilize
russian and finnish languages are full of question marks, like this
for russian:
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody11M Feb 21 2008 ??
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 9.2M Feb 21 2008 ??-??
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 6.3M Feb 21 2008 ?? ...
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 7.6M Feb 21 2008
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 7.1M Feb 21 2008 ??
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 7.7M Feb 21 2008 ??
and like this for finnish:
drwxr-xr-x2 nobody nobody 13 Mar 2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Hoitovirhe
drwxr-xr-x2 nobody nobody7 Mar 2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Niuva 20
drwxr-xr-x2 nobody nobody 13 Mar 2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Pirun Nyrkki
drwxr-xr-x2 nobody nobody 12 Mar 2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- U.S.C.H.!
And operating on these files locally is tricky to say the least: for
example I cannot do a: cd ?? for obvious
reasons, because there is no directory that REALLY has all those
question marks. However, I am still able to browse and operate on
these files using Midnight Commander, somehow it actually works. How
do I need to set the locale settings on the FreeBSD machine so that
all file names are displayed correctly when operated on locally?

Dan Naumov

It's actually an illusion. It happens because ls quite rightly refuses
to spew characters the terminal capabilities doesn't state that can be
displayed, simply because they might send control characters to the
terminal that may or may not corrupt the display. If you use completion
(f.eks. tab), you'll see a ton of \#0x??? or whatnot being the actual
pathname. If you're really intent on displaying the directory, try echo *
