+ <title>Samba Codepage Files</title>
+
+ <para>A text Samba codepage definition file is a description
+ that tells Samba how to map from upper to lower case for
+ characters greater than ascii 127 in the specified DOS code page.
+ Note that for certain DOS codepages (437 for example) mapping
+ from lower to upper case may be non-symmetrical. For example, in
+ code page 437 lower case a acute maps to a plain upper case A
+ when going from lower to upper case, but plain upper case A maps
+ to plain lower case a when lower casing a character. </para>
+
+ <para>A binary Samba codepage definition file is a binary
+ representation of the same information, including a value that
+ specifies what codepage this file is describing. </para>
+
+ <para>As Samba does not yet use UNICODE (current for Samba version 2.2)
+ you must specify the client code page that your DOS and Windows
+ clients are using if you wish to have case insensitivity done
+ correctly for your particular language. The default codepage Samba
+ uses is 850 (Western European). Text codepage definition sample files
+ are provided in the Samba distribution for codepages 437 (USA), 737 (Greek),
+ 850 (Western European) 852 (MS-DOS Latin 2), 861 (Icelandic), 866 (Cyrillic),
+ 932 (Kanji SJIS), 936 (Simplified Chinese), 949 (Hangul) and 950 (Traditional
+ Chinese). Users are encouraged to write text codepage definition files for
+ their own code pages and donate them to samba@samba.org. All codepage files
+ in the Samba <filename>source/codepages</filename> directory are
+ compiled and installed when a <command>'make install'</command>
+ command is issued there. </para>
+
+ <para>The client codepage used by the <command>smbd</command> server
+ is configured using the <command>client code page</command> parameter
+ in the <command>smb.conf</command> file. </para>

+
+ <para>The original Samba software and related utilities

+ by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
+ to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
+
+ <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+ The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+ excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
