Description Frank Giessler 2004-09-15 04:53:22 UTC
I searched the bugzilla database but couldn't find any solution that worked for
me. Here's the setup I'm using:

Samba 3.0.7 running on Solaris 9 (SPARC)
Client is W2k

When using default values for character sets, i.e.:

   dos charset = CP850
   unix charset = UTF-8
   display charset = LOCALE

then I can't use SWAT (on W2k) because the page is corrupt like this:

Button "Speichere Änderungen" is "Speichere _nderungen"
Button "Setze Werte zurück" is "Setze Werte zur_ck".

Filenames are ok from W2k but unusable from Solaris.


If I change the settings to values I prefer:

   dos charset = CP850
   unix charset = LOCALE
   display charset = LOCALE

SWAT becomes usable but the filenames are wrong:

If I copy file "überfäll" from a local W2k disk to a samba share it becomes
"|berfdll" (seen from both W2k and Solaris).

I ran out of ideas. If there is a solution to this it seems to be well hidden.

this is fixed in svn. There is used utf-8 now for html output everywhere, with
the recommended unix charset = utf-8 there should be everything fine now.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
