Description Yves Lejeune 2004-05-27 16:34:53 UTC 
When Samba is configured to use its own internal iconv functions
(e.g. when configure is run on Solaris, without GNU iconv installed),
the var/log.smbd file contains error messages like:
    [2004/05/28 13:20:19, 0] lib/iconv.c:(506)
      short utf8 char
when a filename with extended character is processed.

This is caused by "next_mb_char_size" in "lib/charcnv.c", because its 
flag "conv_silent" does not apply to lib/iconv.c.

I'm getting streams of these from time to time on my Fedora Cora 2 server, 
running Samba 3.0.3.  I have "unix charset = UTF8", "display charset = UTF8".

Is there a debug setting that will display the name/location of the file(s) 
with the faulty character set?
