[sdnsamar a libero.it]

Allego messaggio inviato ad una mailing list specifica di users samba, dalla quale purtroppo non ho ancora ricevuto aiuti.
Spero che qui qualcuno abbia avuto a che fare con questa "rognetta".
Ciao e grazie


dear smb's experts,
I have a trouble with smbtar.
I'll try to explain it simply. (I read SAMBA docs and looked for informations on the web, but i didn't found the answer...)

I have a IBM X220 + RedHat 7.2.
One of the activity assigned to this server is to backup users' directory with smbtar.
The problem I have is with PC that run WIN2000 (NTFS). 
The version of samba is:
smbd -V output: "Version 2.2.1a"
nmbd -V output: "Version 2.2.1a"

When i run smbtar on PC with WIN2000-NTFS, if users have directory or files with special characters, like caffè , colibrì etc., I see the following error (data are not saved):

smbtar -s pc-stefano -x procaffe -u user -p password -t /home/profiles/m.levis/prova.tar -v

server    is pc-stefano
share     is procaffe\\
tar args  is
tape      is /home/profiles/m.levis/prova.tar
blocksize is
added interface ip=192.168.1.135 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, verbose

with other clients using WIN95/98 I have no problems.


Thanks for your help
