Description Marc Kaplan 2005-04-15 17:32:17 UTC 
The code that gets the client name from sessionsetup must be assuming that the
hostname is ASCII, and if not converting the chars to underscores. For example,
I have a Cyrilic hostname, and what it's connected via Samba, smbstatus shows
the following:

[root@ThunderBird tests]# smbstatus

Samba version 3.0.10
PID     Username      Group         Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 1081   mkaplan       mkaplan       ___________  (192.168.93.206)

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
public        1081   ___________   Fri Apr 15 12:36:53 2005

Note that my smb.conf has unix charset = utf-8
