LPIC-3 Exam 300 (Mixed Environments) — Question 1

By default, Samba tries to automatically detect the correct character set to use with a connecting client. Which parameter in smb.conf forces Samba to use only
ASCII?

Answer options

• A. global charset = ASCII
• B. unicode = no
• C. ASCII = yes
• D. force charset = ASCII
• E. reduce charset = yes

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The parameter 'ASCII = yes' directly instructs Samba to use only the ASCII character set. The other options either set different character sets or adjust settings that do not restrict Samba to ASCII specifically.
