From a short look at the KDE source code ( http://webcvs.kde.org/kdenonbeta/kio_smbro/kio_smb.cpp?rev=1.58&view=auto ), I see that it simply uses the "smbclient" utility to access the SMB share without mounting. To list files, it executes the "dir" command in smbclient.WITHOUT mounting. I point Konqueror to
smb://KWIN98/KITAA
and I see the files ok, but I see gibberish when the file names are in Hebrew.
It interprets smbclient's directory listings in the current locale's encoding. In the case of he_IL.UTF-8 encoding, it'll assume that "smbclient" returns filenames in the UTF-8 encoding. If it does not (you're welcome to confirm this by running "smbclient" from the terminal), they'll naturally come out messed up in KDE's Konqueror.
Unfortunately, the use of the locale's encoding is hardcoded into the KDE plugin for SMB. If you want this changed, I encourage you to file a bug at http://bugs.kde.org/ . You may refer to this mail message in your bug report.
I don't think this has anything to do with samba, because I get the same
results when I stop samba.
Yes, it's unrelated to SAMBA.
