[Samba] Missing charset ISO8859-1.so in 3.0.6?

[John B. Scalia]

Thanks, Andrew. I assumed it really wasn't a problem, since the connection
was working in spite of those "fatal error" messages. But, if I might
inquire further...

By configuring, do you mean just setting the LANG environment variable to
something other than its current en_US.ISO8859-1 setting? Maybe something
like en_US.CP850? And if I do such a thing, is it then necessary to copy the
CP850.so into /usr/lib/iconv (where all its other charsets live?)

Please forgive the fact that although libiconv has been installed on this
system for some time now, I'm not really all that clear on what it's used
for. :-) Oh, and I had the debug turned up in order to figure out why my
win2k machine kept telling me the server wasn't running. That just turned
out to be that winbindd had died which was easily corrected after discovery,
but I thought it might be some weirdness in smbd.

Thanks again.

That is normal - but you should configure your 'unix charset' and
'display charset' to values that your system iconv() (if you have added
libiconv to solaris) knows about, or the CP850 module we ship.

Basically, we presume that the system iconv() can handle things, but if
not, we look for a plugin (which may or may not exist - hence it being
level 3 debug, not level 0).
