locale settings and displaying file names in multiple languages

[Dan Naumov]

Hello

I have a 8.0/amd64 system serving a few Samba shares. Windows clients
write files to some of these shares using multiple languages: english,
finnish and russian. When accessed from any given Windows client, the
file and directory names all look correct. However when accessing
these same files locally, the file- and directory names that utilize
russian and finnish languages are full of question marks, like this
for russian:

-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody    11M Feb 21  2008 ???????????? ??????????
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody   9.2M Feb 21  2008 ??????????-??????????????????
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody   6.3M Feb 21  2008 ?????????????????? ????...
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody   7.6M Feb 21  2008
???????????????????????? ????????
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody   7.1M Feb 21  2008 ?????????????? ????????
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody   7.7M Feb 21  2008 ??????????????

and like this for finnish:

drwxr-xr-x    2 nobody  nobody       13 Mar  2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Hoitovirhe
drwxr-xr-x    2 nobody  nobody        7 Mar  2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Niuva 20
drwxr-xr-x    2 nobody  nobody       13 Mar  2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- Pirun Nyrkki
drwxr-xr-x    2 nobody  nobody       12 Mar  2 03:20 Turmion K??til??t
- U.S.C.H.!

And operating on these files locally is tricky to say the least: for
example I cannot do a: cd "???????????? ??????????" for obvious
reasons, because there is no directory that REALLY has all those
question marks. However, I am still able to browse and operate on
these files using Midnight Commander, somehow it actually works. How
do I need to set the locale settings on the FreeBSD machine so that
all file names are displayed correctly when operated on locally?
