[dundee] Garbled SMB filenames

[Lee Hughes]

hmmmmm.. okay... this may be a syntax problem
make sure you've got nmbd running

you just reminding me how ugly and horrible smb is !!!

it's a god awful protocol, hats of to the samba guys for
doing lots of reverse engineering to get it to work!

you need get some debug!!!

mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt --verbose -o user=username

hohohoh ..


iocharset
   Charset used to convert local path names to and from   Unicode. Unicode is used by default for network path   names if the server supports it. If iocharset is   not specified then the nls_default specified   during the local client kernel build will be used.   If server does not support Unicode, this parameter is   unused. 

it's not anything to do with this is it!

 I just checked, local directories were entered correctly and even the NAS directories were in the correct case.

Yeah Samba can mean cifs and/or smbfs. I would expect either to work. I
have found that sometimes it only works when you give the IP but you  
tried that. Did you try codepage 437?
