Hello-- I quick question, to see if anyone could help me out. I have a home network with two nodes, my laptop and my girlfriend's. I have Debian sarge on my laptop while on my girlfriend's machine is the Latin American Spanish version of Windows ME.
I am trying to use Samba tools to allow me to mount her machine's Windows file shares. I have set up the shares on her machine, and then am using smbmount to mount them under Debian. I am able to successfully mount the shares, however the character sets and codepages seem to be incorrectly configured. Filenames with non-ASCII characters (such as ó [o acute] and ñ [n tilde]) get garbled. Local files with Latin-1 characters in their names display fine on my terminal. So, I believe that my problem has to do with the codepage and charset settings that I am feeding to smbmount. In my fstab, I am passing the following options to smbmount: rw,user,noauto,password=foo,uid=imac,gid=imac,\ iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=cp437 Now, I believe that the problem is with the last option, "codepage". I hae tried with codepage=cp437, codepage=cp850, codepage=cp1252, and also just the raw numbers, i.e. codepage=437, codepage=850 . However, in all of these cases, the filename charset conversion seems to be wrong. What code should go here? It appears that newer versions of Windows use unicode, but WinME should should still use a particular codepage. I just can't find one that works... For reference, I am running kernel 2.6.6 and in my .bash_profile I have the following lines: set meta-flag on set output-meta on set convert-meta off and in .bashrc I have: alias ls='ls --show-control-chars' So, I don't know if there is something missing in terms of my terminal setup in order to get this to work--or maybe it is a combination of my terminal and the codepage setup I am feeding smbmount. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions. I would really like to get this working, as the file sharing will be useful in doing backups and generally...sharing files. ¡Viva Debian! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
