    Package: smbfs
    Version: 3.0.5-1
    Severity: normal
    Tags: l10n

    The following example line, put in /etc/fstab, works only if it does not contain the noauto option.
    With the noauto option, the options iocharset and or codepage seem to be ignored and the german characters are not available in file names.

    //HOST/c /smb/HOST/c smbfs iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=cp850,username=XXX,password=XXX,uid=XXX,gid=XXX

    For HOST, a W98 and a W2k machine where tried, same results. A testing directory was created on the Windows box, using Windows itself, containing german special characters in the file name.
    Those characters where only visible on linux when the noauto option was
    missing from the line in fstab.

    When mount is called from the shell, same bug apply. (Of course, putting
    noauto in an option list on the command line makes no sense, but it was
    done for testing.)

    Stracing mount showed that it puts the option noauto always in front of codepage and iocharset when passing the option list on to smbmount, regardless of the option order in fstab. Could it be that smbmount chokes on noauto and ignores the remainder?
