You cannot use Solaris native iconv() for Samba.
Samba needs to convert CP850 (or IBM850)  to UCS-2LE but is not
supported. 

Even if you could modify the code to support those conversion (I think
this is easy because Solaris has "IBM-850" charset), Japanese codesets
could not be converted to UCS-2LE or other UCS-2 series codes (could
be converted to UTF-8 only) with Solaris native iconv().

Use GNU libiconv + Japanese patch to support Japanese characters for
Samba 3.0.X.
