Hi there Current situation: Server: 8.2 - mainly acting as smb-server for Clients: Win-98 (mostly, occasional xp visitor) 8.2 Now, the boss wants me to upgrade his workstation to 9.1 I have 9.1 on my laptop, and I'm having trouble with the danish characters when I ssh into the server (can't access files/directories with danish chars in the name) Question is; What's the smoothest way to have 9.1 function properly in this situation - let 9.1 use UTF-8 and change locale && convmv files on the server? (What happens with Samba?) - keep ISO-encoding on the server and have 9.1 use this also? Upgrading the server is no option at this time, but upgrading Samba would be o.k. (I seem to remember Samba 3.x being mentioned in connection with UTF) I'm leaning towards introducing UTF all over, but just need some feedback on potential pitfalls/solutions... TIA /Jon -- Whatever rocks your boat!

Try setting the lang variable to UTF8 instead of UTF-8.

Assuming you meant "on the laptop", the above didn't seem to have any effect... at least not wrt already existing files (@ server) Possibly there are some side effects of this laptop install being an upgrade from 9.0, rather than a clean 9.1 install ? Hmmm... -- Whatever rocks your boat!

I've got a similar setup ... I'm here on a 9.1 AMD64, and am remotely connected to a SuSE 9.0 x86. On this machine SuSE 9.1, my LANG is set to sv_SE.UTF-8. However, if I connect to the SuSE 9.0 machine, this doesn't work and I see a lot of mumbo jambo letters. On the SuSE 9.0 machine, I set the LANG variable to sv_SE.UTF8 and everything is as it should be. However, if I set the LANG on the SuSE 9.0 to sv_SE.UTF-8 ... everything goes back to mambo jambo. mvh, Örn

I thought I found the problem (glibc-locale not installed) but it doesn't seem to have made any difference at all... :P I have now spent some time switching around between different settings of LANG, creating files named f.x. locale-en_DK-ISO-8859-1_æøå etc... So far no real progress: If I ssh in from an 8.2 (ISO-8859-1) machine, everything is peachy. Filenames display correct, æøå and all. If i ssh in from the 9.1 laptop (utf*) my mileage varies... Sometimes æøå are invisible in filenames, sometimes they show as '?' Files created by the 9.1(utf) machine are UTF Files created by the 8.2(iso) machine are ISO Obviously I don't understand how LANG is inherited (or not) in an ssh-session. What I *do* understand is that this is not the time to think about converting to UTF. So... for the time being, I'm sticking with ISO-encoding on all hosts. Cheers, Jon -- Whatever rocks your boat!
