One problem with the GECOS field is that if the information comes from
LDAP, it will be ASCII only. (The cn field in LDAP is a UTF-8 string,
but nss_ldap doesn't care about it.) In /etc/passwd you can put
arbitrary bytes so UTF-8 works there, but not with LDAP.

Hmm... Maybe I can configure nss_ldap to actually use cn instead...
