None.
UFS is 8 bit clean, so you can basically use it with any 8bit character set.
No encoding is enforced and no conversion is ever applied

good as the weakest point. Of course you can add security by
using SSH, and it's definitely indicated when doing things via
the Internet. As long as you are inside your own net, covered
from the Internet, with only trustworthy machines inside it,
you could even use telnet.
which i actually do. e

I think we must be talking about something different. In any event, what
we have works quite well and I'm not about to change the process at this
point...
we already talked on priv and everything got explained :)

I know I sound like Theo, but security and reliability are ALWAYS more
important than overhead or speed.
I really agree with You.
That's why every admin (and user too) should think about what is he/she
doing, instead of repeating the same mantras about security/insecurity of
something.

That was true in the past, but today, it's much more complicated
than just regularing an article's quality over the price. You
can - without any problems - get crap for (too) much money. You
pay for a brand name, or a standard's name, but you get crap.

what character set/encoding is used for file names in freebsd when i have a
default ufs fs?
it just write whatever program will give it. UFS does not recode anything.

OK, I'm now promoting you to "batshit insane". Seriously, there's no excuse
for running telnet - even in a "secure" (ha!) environment - when so much
better alternatives exist.
Actually it's known to render poorly in a lot of browser configurations:

My only problem has been that the FreeBSD site won't load if I'm using an
SSH proxy (even though both the local machine and the proxy machine are
