can't login with a special character password

[Jorge Urdaneta]

I changed our server password to include some special characters (e.g., ¿). After that, I can't login to that server from my linux box (openssh-client nor putty). On other Windows box I can login without problem. I changed again the password to exclude the special character '¿' and now I can login in the server without any problem.
Once I'm logged in on the server I can write the '¿' character without beign mangled nor set blank as I saw in another bug report.

Using
Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. You need to make sure, that the locale on the client and the server are the same. Therefore you need to generate the locales on the server. If you do not know, what "locales" are, feel free to ask on Ubuntu Answers. If you are absolutely sure, that your openssh-client and openssh-server-process are running in the same locale and it still does not work, feel free to update this bug report. Thank you.
