Re: [Samba] Samba 3.3.4 Umlaut in Share comment Quoting Howard Allison (howard.alli...@pva.sozvers.at): Hi, I just upgraded from 3.0.32 to 3.3.4 on Aix 6.1, and noticed that a 'net view' command from a windows xp workstation fails with a system error 1745. The share works perfectly fine, just the net view command doesn't. This occurs when there is an umlaut in the comment line of the share. Is this WAD? How is the smb.conf file encoded? Is it UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1? -- I assume ISO8859-1(In the smitty 'convert flat file' menu UTF-8 isn't an option for the target - there are a few issues with the utf-8 packages for AIX 6... they don't seem to exist... In any case it's the same smb.conf that worked in 3.0.32...with umlauts... -- VERTRAULICHKEIT: Diese Nachricht ist ausschließlich für denjenigen bestimmt, an den sie adressiert ist und kann vertrauliche Informationen enthalten.

IIRC, full Unicode-only internal handling on strings has only been completed in 3.2 (samba developers would probably better confirm this than me) so it wouldn't be surprising that it doesn't work anymore. You really should convert that file to UTF-8: iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 smb.conf smb.conf.new Hopefully, AIX 6 has iconv..:-)...otherwise you need to edit the file on an UTF-8 enabled system (any recent Linux distro is probably well suited). at worst, just try replacing the umlauts with ASCII characters, just to see (of course that will lead to Ugly German...). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

It does, but the AIX iconv is deficient (and has been for some time). You will likely need GNU libiconv (1.11 or higher - 1.13 is now available). You can also download the AIX binaries from my site. :-) Just follow the Binaries link from the Samba site.
