[Bug 414865] [NEW] mount.cifs does not handle umlauts in usernames correctly

[Joachim Breitner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Hi,

I’m trying to deploy Ubuntu Hardy clients in an AD environment. The home
directories are mounted on a Samba file server, also running Ubuntu
Hardy. Both machines have an UTF-8 locale.

It works fine for users without umlauts in their name, but for user with
an umlaut (e.g. „töst“), mount.cifs does not work. smbclient -U töst
works just fine, so it seems to be a cifs problem.

The log messages on the server side show that NTLM authentication for
the user DOMAIN\T??st is tried, where ?? is actually two strange
characters.

Using sec=krb5 did not help here, the server still had a problem with a
wrong username.
