Hello all,
I'm running samba server 3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The server is set to be a part of the
Windows AD domain. The domain name is IIS. In the /var/log/samba/wb-IIS.log
I keep getting the messages similar to:
[2008/03/23 09:01:01, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(265)
convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence
(�`�©*U)
[2008/03/23 09:01:01, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(265)
convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence
(�©*U)
I've seen that questions about these messages have been already asked in
this list, but unfortunately I have not find any satisfactory answers. My
questions are:
- Where these messages are coming from?
- Are they are signs of some malfunction and what are the possible
consequences (the server is a ClearCase server)?
The relevant part of smb.conf is:
...
dos charset = CP1255
unix charset = UTF-8
display charset = UTF-8
...
Any help/hint would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alexander Shmugliakov
