Re: [Samba] special chars in windows filenames
Check the unix charset setting in smb.conf. For Spanish, I had to add the following: unix charset = CP850 Cheers Fernando P On Mon, 2004-04-05 at 12:47, Joachim Thüx wrote: Hi folks! I upgraded a red hat linux fileserver (kernel version 2.4.18-14) from samba 2.x to samba 3.02. After the upgrade, the special chars in windows filenames (German Umlaute) were no more visible to clients but either substituted with a little black rectangle or completely suppressed - depending on the client operating system (W2000/W98). Within the archived list I found a hint that the smb options dos/unix charset might not be the solution, but it could be related to kernel restrictions. Any hints?

Re: [Samba] Samba as remote file share
No offense...but I guess you'd be better off with FTP or SFTP than SAMBA on this particular setup...

He hopes to be able to setup a single mount point that can be used by employees from various locations via their broadband internet connections. The clients will be a mixture of Linux, Windows 98, and Windows 2000/XP machines. I know that a solution like this would be possible if all of the clients and the server were on the same LAN, however, I've not had any luck attempting to deploy Samba over the internet. Is this a feasible solution with Samba or should I have him look elsewhere? If Samba will cut it does anyone have any pointers or suggestions for the most secure way to implement a setup like this?

Re: [Samba] Purpose of param. time server ?
It is in fact for that. NTP syncs time in Unix. time server = yes tells SAMBA to be a time server for win workstations. Then, you should use net time \\server /set /yes in netlogon scripts to sync your workstations' time with the one of the SAMBA server. Fernando P On Mon, 2004-03-29 at 16:22, M.

I found this parameter but I don't know how to employ it. I have got some unsure information about new functionality (other then ntp and 'net time' service) on WinXP (DC) server for setting clock on its workstations. Is it true ? And is time server = yes parameter on SAMBA intended for setting such functionality on it ? Unfortunately my trial with it was not successful. Can anybody help me ? Thanks M.

Re: [Samba] clients logout .............
Somewhere on W2k's connect new share wizard, there's a sort of link that, apparently, allows you to connect to that share using another user name. I found this today on a w2k PC logged onto a SAMBA domain. I don't know if this is still true on a w2k PC on a workgroup. Maybe someone else can take a look at it.

There was the DOS net logoff but that will not work in a Windows VM, only in real mmode :-( Hi, Two questions, only slightly related to SAMBA : 1) when I have logged into my Samba server (rh9) from a W2K or XP client, how can I log out again so that I can log in as someone else. I know logging out of W2K/XP will work, but I would like to log out of the SAMBA server w/o logging out of W2K/XP.

Re: [Samba] Trouble mounting a windows share from Linux
Right at the end of smbmount man page, you have an example using mount. SMB type of filesystem is the way linux sees a SAMBA (or NT domain/workgroup )share. You may want to try specifying the domain also. Fernando P On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 16:21, =?iso-8859-1?Q?
