• Bug#266619: migrate_passwd.pl should convert gecos names to ASCII

    Package: migrationtools
    Version: 45-2

    When I try to use migrate_passwd.pl, slapadd chokes on many real names
    in my passwd which has non-ASCII characters in them. This is because
    the gecos field in the nis schema is a 7-bit ASCII field. I don't
    think there's anything wrong with putting non-ASCII characters in
    /etc/passwd, however, so migrate_passwd.pl should probably convert
    them to ASCII using some kind of transliteration when filling in the
    gecos field.
