Feel free to answer in German :-) I'm changing a school that previously used a 3 year old Debian server running Samba 2.x over to Skolelinux, using Samba 3.0.14, and I have 1 problem, and 3 questions: My problems is that the filenames do not have the German umlauts (öäü) or the Norwegian special characthers (øæå). I have about 8000 such files, the teachers say that they have square signs, underscores and other "strange" stuff instead of umlauts and specially Norwegian characters. My questions: 1. What should I use in smb.conf for the values unix charset = DOS charset = 2. What should actually the LOCALES be? 3. I've found a program that supposedly will help me, http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/ I've tried different combinations of convmv -f cp850 -t iso8859-1 convmv -f cp850 -t utf8 But even if the umlauts are again visible from linux, they look strange on windows. Anyone having used this program before? Oh, another problem is that they are using this system very heavily 24 hours a day (lots of vpn connections), so I can't just restart Samba whenever I like to...
