NOTES
The following warnings apply when
login
accounts contain characters outside the
range of 7-bit
ASCII:
- A user cannot
rlogin
to
account-name
containing 8-bit characters from a system
that does not handle 8-bit characters.
- A user cannot log in to
account-name
containing 8-bit characters
from a 7-bit
ASCII
terminal (through a modem, for example).
- Several parts of the C library are not tested for
8-bit user names.
- Codeset mapping can vary between systems,
so an 8-bit pattern can represent
different characters on different sytems.
- Password algorithms do not work with 8-bit characters.
