Description Milan Kerslager 2004-05-07 17:21:53 UTC

Because very important files for samba filename manglig (maybe for 
non-ASCII characters only) are (wrongly) in package samba-client, 
there are a big troubles with creating new files, entering 
directories (with national characters) and so on.

This is a problem only when system contain only samba and samba-
common packages (without samba-client).

Move these files from samba-client to samba-common package please:

/usr/lib/samba/lowcase.dat
/usr/lib/samba/upcase.dat
/usr/lib/samba/valid.dat

The command testparm is complaining about missing files too.

Comment 1 Milan Kerslager 2004-05-07 17:32:08 UTC

The problem is only with Win95 and Win98 clients. When client is 
Windows XP or so, there is no problem at all (because XP using 
unicode).

Also the same problem has latest Fedora Core development package 
samba-3.0.3-4.

Comment 2 Jay Fenlason 2004-06-18 19:11:47 UTC

I've built new samba-3.0.4 rpms that are currently going through QA.  
If you want to grab a pre-release copy for testing, I put a copy at 
http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/.samba/samba-*3.0.4-3.3E.i386.rpm 
 
Note that these have not yet passed qa, may not work, use at your 
own risk, etc. :-)  But do let me know how they worked if you try 
them.
