Fix write access problem for Mac OS X 10.6.x to Samba share on FreeBSD or Linux

Nothing is more irritating than not being able to copy the files you want to a share.

This problem has been bugging me since the release of Mac OS X 10.6.

The fix seems to be quite simple, I added the following to my global block in smb.conf:

[global]
dos charset = UTF8
unix charset = UTF8
display charset = UTF8
unix extensions = no

Now we can work without errors again.

Ps. Don't forget to unmount and re-mount your share before the changes take effect.
