Hello
I have a 8.0/amd64 system serving a few Samba shares. Windows clients write files to some of these shares using multiple languages: english, finnish and russian. When accessed from any given Windows client, the file and directory names all look correct. However when accessing these same files locally, the file- and directory names that utilize russian and finnish languages are full of question marks, like this for russian:
and like this for finnish:
And operating on these files locally is tricky to say the least: for example I cannot do a: cd "???????????? ??????????" for obvious reasons, because there is no directory that REALLY has all those question marks. However, I am still able to browse and operate on these files using Midnight Commander, somehow it actually works. How do I need to set the locale settings on the FreeBSD machine so that all file names are displayed correctly when operated on locally?
