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.
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.
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.
