Package: samba-common-bin Version: 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when I give the command, for example samba-tool user create test pwd --surname Vezetéknév --givenname Keresztnév I get the following error message: ERROR(<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>): Failed to add user 'teszttanar3': - 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 16: ordinal not in range(128) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/user.py", line 425, in run smartcard_required=smartcard_required) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/samdb.py", line 490, in newuser force_password_change_at_next_login_req) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/samdb.py", line 606, in setpassword """ % (user_dn, base64.b64encode(pw).decode('utf-8')) On the Samba list, somebody suggested to use newer Samba version, because it is improved. Samba 4.10 can (or in default?) uses python3, and with it, I could use unicode characters. Ok, but I would like to use Debian 10, with official packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages samba-common-bin depends on: ii libbsd0 0.9.1-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.47+dfsg-3 ii libncurses6 6.1+20181013-2 ii libpopt0 1.16-12 ii libreadline7 7.0-5 ii libtalloc2 2.1.14-2 ii libtdb1 1.3.16-2+b1 ii libtevent0 0.9.37-1 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2 ii libwbclient0 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 ii python 2.7.16-1 ii python-samba 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 ii python2.7 2.7.16-2 ii samba-common 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 ii samba-libs 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 Versions of packages samba-common-bin recommends: ii samba-dsdb-modules 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 Versions of packages samba-common-bin suggests: pn heimdal-clients <none> -- no debconf information I have sent this bug report with reportbug, from the Debian host, but I'm not sure, whether you received my mail, and the bug haven't appeared on here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=samba-common-bin
