Customers are using Unicode characters umlauts (ö,ä,ü) in group names and this creates problems with NFS ID Mapping. Groups with umlauts will be redirected to the group NFS "nobody". This patch deactivate the ASCII characters check. It's maybe more like a temporary fix and I think it would be nicer to adjust the check to support Unicode characters instead to deactivate the check. ======================================================================================================== diff -Nurp nfs-utils-1.2.2/utils/idmapd/idmapd.c nfs-utils-1.2.2-fag/utils/idmapd/idmapd.c --- nfs-utils-1.2.2/utils/idmapd/idmapd.c 2010-02-18 13:35:00.000000000 +0100 +++ nfs-utils-1.2.2-fag/utils/idmapd/idmapd.c 2011-10-05 09:09:05.815103100 +0200 @@ -850,9 +850,6 @@ validateascii(char *string, u_int32_t le for (i = 0; i< len; i++) { if (string[i] == '\0') break; - - if (string[i]& 0x80) - return (-1); } if ((i>= len) || string[i] != '\0') ========================================================================================================= Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
