[Anton Shterenlikht]

I didn't get any luck asking in questions@,
so maybe this is a current@ issue:

well.. maybe this is irrelevant, but I disovered that
there is actually a module libiconv, despite the fact that
there are already libiconv lib built with the base OS:

> ls -al /usr/local/lib/libiconv.*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1113476  4 Aug 22:40 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.a
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel      920  4 Aug 22:40 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       13  4 Aug 22:40 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -> libiconv.so.3
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1102764  4 Aug 22:40 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3

Anyway, I've built the libiconv module, and loaded it
to the kernel, but still get the same error trying
to load smbfs.

Please advise

many thanks
