Can't set locale
Authored by: shacker on Oct 26, '01 03:07:35PM

I have not been able to connect to an SMB share on a local Linux host, no matter what I do. The share does not require a username/password - just verifies on IP triplets. But the Connect to Server dialog won't let you continue without a user/pass. That's problem one.

Utilities such as smbutil and mount_smbfs always give the same error:

"Can't set locale ''

a bug somewhere in the nb_name* code "

I have set the linux host's hostname in NetInfo as described in apple knowledgebase article 88158. Any other suggestions before I resort to 3rd party SMB utilities?

Finally grabbed sharity, and it mounted my linux-hosted SMB share perfectly the first time. Have been wrestling with Apple's SMB client for days, have tried everything, got nowhere. Sharity is a gem. Thanks for the pointer.

Try unsetting the LANG environment variable:

% unsetenv LANG
% mount_smbfs...
