 Samba will not modify the contents of the file, however Samba 2.2 has
 very poor support for anything other than ASCII in filenames.  Samba 3.0
 introduced real support for unicode filenames.

We - not true. If you set the code page correctly then Samba 2.2
does English + one other language perfectly well.

How would you set the code page correctly, to do both languages?

Thanks,

 Been there, doesn't work. Put special characters in a filename on the server
 and try to open/move/copy/whatever that file and linux will tell you that the
 fil eisn't there at all tho you see it with your very eyes.
 
 Been fighting with non-ascii chars for 14 months now (!) and thought more than
 one about migrating the server back to windows.

It works correctly on Samba 2.2 if you set the codepage parameter
correctly for the client. The issue is that it only works for
one codepage (as well as ASCII). This definately works on Samba 2.2,
we wouldn't have had much success as a fileserver without it. You
need to check your config.

In Samba 2.2 set :

client code page = 932

(for Japanese SJIS) and then set character set to the encoding
used on the Japanese UNIX system and also look at the coding system
parameter (specifically for Japanese).
