Kinda bad headache. Here's hoping bugzilla doesnt trash the characters... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount a NFS disk with filenames using 8 bits 2. run ls -l 3. marvel in filenames with shell wildcards in them ;) Additional info:
NFS does not specify encoding of the characters; Red Hat Linux assumed UTF8 by default. If you know the encoding you can set it via the LANG environment variable
