Description Jeff Martin 2005-03-09 20:42:45 UTC
Solaris 9 04/04 on sunblade100 with Sun recommended patchset from Sept 2004.
followed std build instructions: 
./configure --with-acl-support; make; make install
gcc 3.4.2
SMCncurs 5.4
SMCreadl 5.0
SMCpopt 1.7

pdbedit -L gives the following (snipped for brevity)
convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Incomplete multibyte sequence()
root:0:Super-User

When connecting, I see the following error in /var/log/samba.{machinename}

Comment 1 Jeff Martin 2005-03-09 22:37:21 UTC
adding this as I just saw it, I've been unable to login to SWAT and just checked
/usr/local/samba/var/swat.log and there are many thousand lines of the following:

[2005/03/09 20:45:26, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(235)
  convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Incomplete multibyte sequence()
[2005/03/09 20:45:26, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(235)
  convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Incomplete multibyte sequence()
[2005/03/09 20:45:26, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(235)
  convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Incomplete multibyte sequence()

So it is affecting SWAT as well.
Comment 2 Jeff Martin 2005-03-16 21:06:14 UTC
Just an FYI, installed libiconv 1.9 and recompiled 3.0.12pre1 and I still 
receive the same errors. This seems like a big issue to me, but maybe not... 
would really like some feedback on it if possible. Thanks.
Comment 3 Björn Jacke 2020-05-17 22:33:03 UTC
I've seen recent samba releases on solaris 10 and 11 which did not show such errors, assuming this is not an issue (any more).
