I have a Win2003 srv which share a folder. Some files in this folder have names like: "Qualità" (I'm Italian!). If I use smbclient with "dir" cmd. I correctly obtain: Qualità DAR 0 Tue Oct 28 08:36:04 2003 If I use smbmount via: smbmount "//mysrv/myarch" /mnt/win/ -o username=TEST,password=TEST and I launch: "ls -la /mnt/win/" I obtain: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Oct 28 08:36 Qualit? Note that correct smbclient-file name "Qualità" became "Qualit?" here. Another info: sometimes "smbmount" mount the folder but don't return to prompt (I must use CTRL+Z). Thanks for "samba" ... a great works!!!! :) Roberto Colmegna
You need to set the correct charset and codepage. See the smbmount(8) and smb.conf(5) manpages for details.
