Comment 14 for bug 1001755

Hello,
I have similar issue if the password contains accentuated characters: I cannot login if the console is not configured to use the proper charset.
This issue is also present when pam is used to autheticate ftp or imap users with a non ascii password.
From what I have seen:
gftp, thunderbird, outlook auhthenticate using ISO8859
ios5 mail, konqueror, nautilus authenticate using UTF8

Could it be possible to include an option to convert pasword to/from utf/iso?
