Re: [PLUG] Extended characters over Samba

I use é a lot in my file and directory. Each of the Win98/fat32 and Linux/ext3 machines doesn't have a problem with files and directories created by the local machine with these letters, but when accessing a share that contains a file or directory with that name, both choke, substituting a box or a ? for the accented character.

Is there a solution that aids compatibility?

Isn't the usual (blind) advice to first update your software. In this case, your operating systems. Win98 and Red Hat 7.x are a little outdated.
