Mordechai - Implementing a Samba file server on Unix is like the old
expression, "being just a little bit pregnant". That is, you
REALLY have to plan ahead for what you're going to end up with on that
file system, and be able to fully provide Windows-like services that go
along with file serving.
The IGLU (Israeli Group of Linux Users) advises:
To make Hebrew filenames work correctly on a SMB share, you will need install
samba 2.2.4 or later from http://www.samba.org/
Then, add the following lines to the [global] section of your smb.conf:
client code page = 862
character set = ISO8859-8
See the smb.conf doc for more info; and fully study the Samba doc in general
for dealing with the stuff - particularly if you expect to end up with a mix
of foreign language files, which will really make things messy. You may want
to mandate segregated Shares for each language.
