A number of tools and servers / daemons run on various flavors of Unix, Linux and BSD. Since the following hints are independent from the operating system, they are listed on this common page.
One of the most cumbersome tasks with Samba is setting the correct charset. Everything works fine as long as only Windows clients connect, partly due to the fact that Windows uses UTF-8 by default (and Samba does the same since version 3).
The parameter unix charset sets the charset which the Unix system Samba runs on uses.
openSUSE 10.2 finally dropped smbfs support, forcing users to switch to cifs. The lack of documentation (not just a man page) along with features like the "unix extensions" make it a pain to configure
To set file access rights via file_mode and dir_mode, the Unix extensions have to be switched off on the Samba server:
Sample for mounting a remote Samba share:
//gate/samba /gate cifs user=wimmer,uid=wimmer,gid=users,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0

where /cdrom is the mount point.
Occasionally, recursive directories appear under /net (e.g./net/localhost/net/localhost/), which is the standard directory for the automounter. Killing (and disabling, if possible) the automounter followed by a reboot should remedy this problem.
