The problem is like this:
Without patch:
hasch at tower:~> getent passwd
...
DOMAIN\juhasch:x:10004:10000:Jrgen Hasch:/home/DOMAIN/juhasch:/bin/false
...

with patch:
hasch at tower:~> getent passwd
...
DOMAIN\juhasch:x:10004:10000:Jürgen Hasch:/home/DOMAIN/juhasch:/bin/false
...

i.e. I get the full user name including umlaute. This also shows up in the 
windows client's security settings correct now.

Now I never would have brought this up because I don't care to much for 2.2 
and I was just curious when I made the patches. But since someone asked :-)
The names/groups are transferred by rpc and converted from unicode like this:
	unistr2_to_ascii(t, &info1.str[j].uni_acct_name, sizeof(pstring));
Adding the line
	dos_to_unix(t);
makes the umlaute appear.
Now the charset conversion may be totally wrong there, I believed it to be 
*easiest* patch.

In a few minutes.
