| I would have done that, but Solaris 8 already HAS something called
| "iconv".  There is an iconv.h, and libc has functions "iconv",
| "iconv_open", "iconv_close", and there's a support directory
| /usr/lib/iconv.
|

| different than this?
|
| Besides, I don't CARE about character set conversions.
| If "configure" didn't think I had proper iconv support, why
| doesn't Samba just silently skip doing character conversions?  Can
| I run configure with --without-libiconv to get Samba to
| be quiet?

Didn't I already mail you about the changes in 3.0.1rc2 ?
A lot of this is being handled internally to smbd now
to work around issues such as this one.  Please test
3.0.1rc2 and  see if it helps.



cheers, jerry
