Forreign characters

Hi.

Im trying to add a real user name with swedish characters (åäö ÅÄÖ)

But the system only allows a-z A-Z _ 0-9

can this be fixed?

Its the Real name collum not the username.

If its Unix standard then the real name should be able to handle foreign characters.

Unix does not have any problems creating a comment with the foreign characters :

from my unix Machine. : /etc/passwd :

jem:x:511:511aniel ÅÄÖÖ åäö:/home/jem:/bin/bash

/ Daniel.
