Chinese and Samba
Quick note that if characters don’t display correctly from your client and you want samba to display characters properly you should change to the following samba server settings in smb.conf:
[global]
client code page = 936
unix charset = UTF8
…
and the following linux client settings:
[global]
unix charset = UTF8
…
You may need to set UTF8 to GB2312 or some other setting for some windows environments.
