 I found an issue with smbfs support in mc-4.7.0pre4 - when access
 Windows system (windows 7 in my case) in the directory where files
 with non-ASCII names are located (russian alphabet in my case), mc
 doesn't display it correctly, and change of encodings manually doesn't
 help. smbclient displays directory content correctly, as well as many
 other programs. Looks like an issue in smbfs implementation in mc.

AFAIK, the samba library bundled with mc counts no ages. Not only it
needs a rework, but it has to be throw out completely and replaced with
a wrapper for some well supported samba library.

So what are you talking about is entirely possible, although I don't
think we can provide you with a solution ATM before the VFS rewrite
(which has not even started yet) is completed.

actually, I'm writing on an MVFS backend for smb, so w/ MVFS
support (which is awaiting votes for a long time now ;-o) MC
will also get recent smb support.

My personal issue with mvfs is that it's basically an unsupported
project. It does not even have a website, not speaking about a developer
community. Your signature is not up to date, there's no mention of mvfs
on the main website that seems to be fallen far behind, nothing...

Let's assume that the patch gets into mc pretty soon. Last time you
disappeared for half a year or something like that. Who's gonna support
this pretty crucial piece of functionality then? No one.

Direct bindings to libsmbclient won't suffer from this problem, it's
been around for ages and it's very well supported.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to matter to you.
