version 3 dropped that setting... you want to use these now:
dos charset
unix charset
display charset

man smb.conf should explain each.

The option

Code:

client code page

is not described in the man page of smb.conf . Not with my samba version, at least.

I use the Parameters

Code:

unix charset = iso8859-15
display charset = iso8859-15

Now, that is for german clients, of course.
