Not quite true.  I've been experiencing a similar problem.  There are=20
characters allowed with Windows that aren't accessible when trying use an s=
mb=20
mounted share.

The easiest one for me to track down and trace is the # sign on a 2k box. =
=20
Though there are characters apparently on Win98 and XP boxes.

I've tried digging through the documentation for some information on how to=
=20
change the character mapping to try some kind of workaround (I'm building=20
scripts to backup win shares to s FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box), but have not had=
=20
much luck finding any info online for this.
