Dear All
I have thoroughly read through the Handbook chapter about Localization. My native language is Danish but in general, I have no problems using English for my machines. Apart from the fact, that one of my servers is supposed to be used for file sharing through Samba and web serving through Apache. Therefore, I need to use Danish national characters.
My current installation is based on FreeBSD 8.1-Prelease, samba34 and apache22.
A general question: should I use ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 for the basic system?
Without any special settings, I can use my samba shares with Danish file names. But when I list the contents of the actual directories in the console, I either get question marks or strange characters - depending on my settings.
Since I am the only one having shell access, I usually use the root account.
The content of /etc/login.conf is (for the moment):
After editions of the file, I remember to run
With these settings, I can read and write Danish characters in the console.
The samba set-up is working without any special attention to language settings. My /usr/local/etc/smb.conf looks like:
With these settings, users can save files with Danish names and see them the same way.
But when I use the console to list the content of user shares, Danish characters are (depending on the settings - I have tried several) either "strange" or simply question marks. For the most of the time, it doesn't matter much, since I can guess the names. But it can make it impossible to e.g. copy files to another directory.
If I copy files from a samba share to a web directory, the file names are also wrong in directory listings.
With the shown settings, I can create a text file from the console, but the file name will not be shown as anything else than a straight line in Windows Explorer.
I have tried to adjust the values of
without any success.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Jon
