Description TAKAHASHI Motonobu 2004-01-10 21:43:22 UTC 
Any line ending in a '\' is continued on the next line in smb.conf.

But this rule is also applied when a line is ended with '\' which is the 2nd 
byte of a multibyte character.
We should recognize whether the '\' is a '\' character or a 2nd (or 3rd) byte 
of a multibyte character.

Comment 3 TAKAHASHI Motonobu 2004-05-05 04:50:10 UTC 
I tested on Samba 3.0.3 and found the bug was still reproduced.
I attached a sample smb.conf at #2.

(CP932 is supported on iconv() included in GNU libiconv.)
