Installing and Conﬁguring the HP CIFS Server

Internationalization

Chapter 248

— Windows 95 Japanese

— Windows NT 4.0 Japanese

• To enable HP CIFS Japanese capabilities, start HP CIFS with

smb.conf variables set as follows:

codingsystem = SJIS

client code page = 932

• Japanese is supported for the following:

— File/directory names

— File contents

— Printing

Japanese is not supported for share names, domain names, user

In order to view the ﬁle and directory names and contents correctly

from the UNIX side, you must set the locale to Shift-JIS like this:

export LANG=ja_JP.SJIS

• DOS utilities uchmod.exe, ud.exe, uren.exe, and udir.exe are not

supported for Japanese ﬁle/directory name. The bundled server

management tools for Windows NT or XP workstation and Windows

95 are not supported on Japanese Windows NT workstation(J) and

Windows 95(J).

• HP CIFS cannot handle the following characters as ﬁle or directory

names from Windows 95(J) clients. 8260 - 8279 (SJIS code)

• HP CIFS can only run batch ﬁles from Windows 95(J) clients if the

ﬁle or directory names are speciﬁed in the 8.3 format. This is not a

Japanese speciﬁc problem but an MS-DOS limitation.

For example, the following batch ﬁles cannot run.

g:\a1234567890est.bat

g:\a123456est567890.bat

There is no workaround.

For conﬁguration examples, refer to “Step 4, Modifying the Conﬁguration

in this chapter.”
