Description of problem: Samba logfiles is filled with utf8 errors. They are produced on loglevel 0 (zero) so they can't be removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.4-6.3E How reproducible: Happens all the time as files with umlaut charaters. They are valid chars. The show up correctly in console, in nautilius window and on client PC but samba still complains. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start samba server 2. Connect a computer with a swedish version of Windows XP 3. Watch log fill with utf8 error messages Actual results: Using loglevel 1. Opening a folder called "Räksmörgås" (Shrimp-sandwich) on a client PC produces this item about 20 times in the log. [2004/09/06 22:27:44, 0] lib/iconv.c:utf8_pull(514) short utf8 char Expected results: Nothing in the log. Additional info: These settings are used in smb.conf which has some sigificans towards this. unix charset = UTF8 display charset = UTF8 dos charset = CP850
I have tested samba-3.0.7-2.FC2 on Fedora Core 2 and it doens't generate these messages.
I now uses samba samba-3.0.7-1.3E on RHEL 3 and this message is still generated. In a swedish roaming profile there is several folders with umlaut-characters so a normal windows login produces hundreds of items in the log. [2004/09/23 22:30:41, 0] lib/iconv.c:utf8_pull(518) short utf8 char
I now uses samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1 and the issue is solved. I haven't gotten any utf-8 errors so far. God work!!!
