Samba, vfat, Hebrew and Windows 98
Hello.
I've recently installed a Samba server in the office here, for use by
several Windows 98 clients. Due to various constraints, I'm currently forced
not to put the data files on an ext2 filesystem, which means I have to
settle with vfat.
The problem is that vfat doesn't like Hebrew filenames. ext2 handles them
just fine.
I'm looking for some workaround, that would let me do one of the two -
either properly use Hebrew on vfat, or force Windows 98 not to name newly
created directories - 'New Folder' (in Hebrew). I have an educated crowd
here, that knows Hebrew filenames are bad - we aren't planning on using them
for anything. Windows does that for us, without asking.
I'm hoping the 'New Folder' name is configurable somewhere. I hunted through
the registery, but found nothing useful.
Technical details: The Samba daemon 2.0.5a (glibc) is running on
a Linux 2.2.12.
