I've got a problem with file names containing ":" and "?" characters when
mounted via mount_smbfs.  I have two FBSD machines running SAMBA.  Machine-1
mounts a file system from Machine-2 using mount_smbfs().  The ls() command
converts a file name such as XX:YY to something like X~Y.  If I run tar()
to backup XX:YY, it reports an error (tar: X~Y: no such file or directory).

So it appears that when tar() recursively goes down a directory hierarchy
and finds the file, it gets the name as X~Y.  But when it trys to add the
file to the archive, it fails because there is no file on the system with
the name X~Y.

Is this something that the charsets definition in nsmb.conf can fix?  If so,
what are the character sets I should use?  If not, is there a solution for
this issue?

Thanks,
Jon
