I would like to ask if there is any other language support for samba. I find
that samba can support Chinese and English filename.
I am currently working for a project involving Thai filename, however, I
found that Linux uses unicode to support Thai while Microsoft uses propriety
encoding for Thai TIS-620. Microsoft's Thai CP874 (DOSThai) added with
non-standard characters in unused positions..

I tried to use Thai as filename in Linux and Windows respectively, it is
supported in both OSes. However, they cannot read the files between one
another. Copying a thai filename file from Windows
to samba server is allowed, but the filename was changed to ~VZ, something
like that.. Any suggestion?
Thanx!!

Brgds,
Henry

I think you should put the line:

client code page = 874

in the file "/etc/smb.conf", to get Samba to convert between CP875 and
Unicode.
