ftpd and hebrew



Hi.
Small problem, maybe someone on the list can help me out.

I have a linux fileserver which grants ftp and samba axx.
it has many files with hebrew filenames that were written by windows
hosts. when linux lists these files, it shows gibberish (wrong code page
compiled in kernel or plain incompatibility with windows hebrew
codepages?). when windows shows these files with samba, they look great.

NOW, prob is that the linux machine's ftpd shows these filenames as
complete gibberish. However, if I map the linux drive on a windows host
(using SMB), open an ftp server on the windows host and serve out the
mapped linux drive from there, all the hebrew looks fine on the ftp. 

can anyone give me an idea/pointer to rtfm/whatever to make the linux ftpd
show the hebrew filenames correctly?

TIA
