[WBEL-users] Characters in Samba

Hi,
I have this Samba server.
I'm from Portugal, so my users give names to their files containig
characters like à, õ , í, etc.
>From the Windows point of view, everything is ok, but in the Linux
filesystem, those characters became a real mess.
The problem is that i need to record CDs directly on the server, and i
have a good deal of file and directory names all messed up.
I've already tried using "unix charset = CP860" (860 is the portuguese
codepage) in smb.conf, but no good.
I've read the documentation, but got to no conclusion.
In short, i'd like to when a user saves a file, let's say "olá.txt" in a
Samba share, the file in the Linux filesystem is also called "olá.txt"
and not "ol_?.txt" or something messy alike.
A last info:
[root@dori home]# echo $LANG
en_US.ISO-8859-1
[root@dori home]#
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
