Thanks for sharing this. It certainly is an excellent stopgap measure,
until proper filename conversion can be done.

The best way, if possible, would be to retain backward compatibility for
reading samba-2.2.x filenames (as with unix charset) while having new
or modified files written in unicode (or whatever the default in
samba-3.x). 

BTW: keep up the great job on your smb-ldap howto, it is a precious
ressource.

Cheers,

Upon upgrading from 2.2.5 to 3.0alpha20 on Debian unstable, filenames
with accented characters (ie: éàî etc.) became unreadable. For example
in W2K a filename previously called résumé.xls became r when looking at
the samba share; and the filename is impossible to modify from windows:
samba log says file not found. From the shell the file looks like
r?sum?.xls but the ? are actually 0x83.
