Hello Everybody, I am facing some issues with CIFS and german character encoding for file names under Fedora Core 5. I have a NAS storage (DNS-323) running an embedded Linux with samba. This device is able to support Western European encoding, which is set in the smb.conf as follows: [ global ] client code page = 850 character set = ISO8859-1 ... >From my wife's laptop running Windows XP, file names with Umlaute äöü etc. are correctly shown. However, if I map the same drive under Fedora Core 5, the filenames with Umlaute are shown as strange ? combination: # mount -t cifs -o username=antje%xxx,iocharset=iso8859-1 //<IP>/Volume_1/LaptopAntje /mnt/nas # ls /mnt/nas/ hmm ?.txt ?h?.txt PICT3303.JPG For instance ?h?.txt should be ähö.txt. I have tried to set the locale to de_DE.ISO-8859-1, but no avail. # export LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 # ls /mnt/nas/ hmm .txt ?h?.txt PICT3303.JPG Even more interesting, the same file names are correctly shown under konqueror using the smb:// mapping. Could someone point me what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Loic. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
