[SOLVED] mount.cifs displays ???? for file names while Dolphin shows as is

[Zenith88]

Running Fedora12.

While browsing WinXP shares in Doplhin the file names are displayed as they are, but when the same volume is mounted the names change into all ????.

Tried -o iocharset=utf8, but getting this error:

mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

as I can see my locale is on the list from locale -a.

What am I doing wrong?

As per the error message, there is a problem with a shared library that mount.cifs requires to operate properly. You might need to reinstall mount.cifs to correct this. Since the error doesn't specify which library is having a problem I cannot be more specific than this.

This illustrates general problem with software development, that is bogging my mind since mid-80s when I started using computers: why is it so difficult for developers to be elaborate in diagnostic messages they put in?

I am also at a loss how I can reinstall mount. If I am not mistaken, it is part of base Fedora and comes with operating system. Correct me if I am wrong.

mount isn't the problem. It indirectly calls mount.cifs which is the thing you need to reinstall. CIFS stands for Common Internet File System, which is the successor for netbios/windows network sharing (samba on Linux). So, cifs is the samba client, and smbd is the samba server.

Ok, I tried un/re-installing samba-client, still same problem.
