samba file share in multi coding
 

Hi all,
I'm setting up a samba with redhat 8.0 with samba 2.5.0.
I want a share can save files or directory in tranditional chinese and simplifed chinese which like NT Server or Windows 2K Server.
I have tested tanditional chinese can save. But same time save simplifed chinese is not work. What can I do ?


Thank you !

i wrote a text editor once
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=16492
that has under "Save As" a choice for GBK and Big5
it should work correctly and as far as i know Samba should not interfear
if you mean file names however you have to issue a different mount command
something like
mount -t smbfs -o username=blah,password=blah,codepage=blah,iocharset=blah

wish i knew more
i think NTFS writes all it's filenames as UTF-16

thanks.

I want the samba share like NTFS. Does Samba support UTF-16 in samba 2.5.0?

i think so
on the windows machine open the DOS prompt and type
chcp
it will return something like
Active Code Page: xxx

so then put (if you put it in /etc/fstab) something like
adjust as needed
or to use mount like above
see if that works
if it complains about utf16 try utf8 cause it might be doing some translating using the codepage ?

Can i add code to smb.conf?
which code should I use?


Thanks
