[Samba] Using accent in password with Fedora Core 3 and Windows NT4 PDC

Hello,

I try to allow a box under Linux Fedora Core 3 to access a Windows Server 
that is in a Windows NT4 Domain. Everything works fine, execpt when the user 
has an accent in their password.

Here is the result of testparm :
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = MyDomain
        server string = Fedora Core 3
        security = SHARE
        encrypt passwords = No
        name resolve order = bcast
        os level = 0
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        invalid users = root

I use samba 3.0.10 (latest Fedora Core 3 package) on a Fedora Core 3 box. 
The server is a NT4 server in a NT4 Domain (there is no Active Directory).

With the debug option :
smbclient //server/dir -U User -d 10
I get :
Password:
convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(èst)
convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(èst)
convert_string_allocate: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(èst)

with password "tèst"

It results in an error : session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Is there something I can do to solve this problem (except to oblige people 
to change their password) ?

Thanks,
Olivier.
