Hello Sebestyen,

What character set do you use? There are a few different patches for
ISO-Latin_8859-1 out there; I'm responsible for one of them. Check the
mail archive for beginning of January '98 for my contribution. There
might be better ones around, though. :)

Basically, Samba can be set up to use iso-latin. Then patch netatalk to
do the same. Also, you need a script that runs find and renames all your
old files with :xx to the latin correspondance.

Hope this helps. If not feel free to mail me, and I'll see if I can find
the patch and mail it to you.

Regards,
Palle
