Bug 32016 – Samba claims that I am setting codepage twice in smb.conf while not true

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Konstantinos Kokonas 2003-10-26 01:47:24 UTC]

When I configure samba, I have an entry for a codepage in /etc/samba/smb.conf

Samba will load the default codepage and complain that: codepage_initialise: 
called twice - ignoring second client code page = 737

Here is my smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = UAF
netbios name = LINUX
server string = Samba
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
load printers = no
log level = 10
max log size = 50
name resolve order = lmhosts host bcast
dns proxy = No
bind interfaces only = True
interfaces = eth0
hosts allow = 192.168.0.
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
client code page = 737
character set = ISO8859-7
[backup]
   path = /home/backup
   username = backup
   valid users = backup
   read only = no
   directory mode = 0700
   create mode = 0600
   only user = yes



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge samba
2.edit smb.conf and enter a codepage line

Actual Results:  
Complaining in log.smbd

Expected Results:  
Load codepage 737

Is this bug still an issue?

[Comment 2 Konstantinos Kokonas 2004-05-10 20:19:03 UTC]

I haven't been using the default version of samba.

Don't know if this is still an issue.

[Comment 3 stan 2004-05-31 06:04:07 UTC]

client code page parameter seems to have been removed for samba3 (3.0.2a current in portage)

[Samba] Samba 3.0 and client code page: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2002-August/049979.html

from http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-3.0.4.html:
This section contains a brief listing of changes to smb.conf options
in the 3.0.0 release.  Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for
complete descriptions of new or modified parameters.

Removed Parameters (order alphabetically):
<snip>
  * client codepage
  * code page directory

I can't reproduce this bug with samba 2.2.8, would need more info on this.
As samba3 is now "stable" and does not have codepages anymore, i'm marking this bug closed.
