HOWTO: Make Samba Display Chinese Characters of Windows (2003 Server) Share Folder Names and File Names Correctly on Ubuntu 9.10

Well, after research on the Samba threads, I finally have my Ubuntu 9.10 displaying Chinese Characters of my network’s Windows 2003 Server Share Folders and File Names. Here’s how:

Open Terminal

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Insert the following code under [global]

dos charset = CP936
unix charset = UTF-8
display charset = UTF-8

Now my Ubuntu 9.10 setup is complete
