Western European Language Support
Samba/iX 2.0.7 supports Western European languages in filenames. This means that
Western European versions of NT/95/98 should be able to create and view files with
filenames in those languages.Currently code page 850 and 437 are supported (ISO8559-1).
New MPE Valid Characters
With MPE/iX 6.5 a few extra characters gained legal status and these are duly supported
in Samba/iX 2.0.7.
These characters are:~,\\,$,%,^,*,+,|,{,},:
These can now be used in the filenames. With Samba 2.0.7,mapdiffs utility is also
provided. More information as to why the old filename mapping method was enhanced is
provided in the Readme.
Change in the Default Security Mode
In previous versions of Samba/iX, the default security mode was security = share. In this
version, this has been altered to make security = user as default. The user needs to note
that the config file needs to be adjusted to avoid unexpected changes in behavior.
