Life is good in Brazil :) Certainly I personally agree that use of ascii-only characters in logins is good practice. But long ago when some version of windows was localized for using russian language where required 'Administrator' user people who did localization translated that predefined login to russian. With this Pandora's box was opened. Luckily that russian names for users (also computers, domains, etc.) are not case-sensitive. And when people want to grant some role to user name, coming from windows trusted authentication, people expect us to follow that rule. They just do not understand why should russian names differ in any way from ascii one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
