National character set and Samba shares

Hi Alexey,

[linux server can't see correct file names with accents from a remote
samba share]

Those are correct for the server (smb.conf dos charset=cp850 and unix
charset=iso-8859-1) and Windows clients are happy with that. I tried
changing those but them either Windows clients or local Linux programas
won't see the correct file names.

Configuring the linux client to use iso8859-1 instead of utf-8 (by
changing LANG) had no effect either. The remote linux client still gets
file names encoded as cp850.
