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.
