Hi Alex, > what is the content of yout $LANG variable? Could you try to unset it > and then ls the directory again? Also there is a mount option called > iocharset. Maybe this will help. Thanks for your suggestion. I found what the problem is: the filenames are stored using CP850 encoding instead ISO-8859-1! I am baffled. The smb.conf on the DNS-323 clearly specifies that ISO-8859-1 should be use for filenames: [ global ] client code page = 850 character set = ISO8859-1 Anyway, this is a problem with the NAS storage, not with Fedora. Thanks again for your help! Regards, Loïc. -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel? Jetzt die neuesten Browser-Versionen downloaden: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/browser
