NOTES

The following warnings apply when login accounts contain characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII:

• A user cannot rlogin to account-name containing 8-bit characters from a system that does not handle 8-bit characters. 

• A user cannot log in to account-name containing 8-bit characters from a 7-bit ASCII terminal (through a modem, for example). 

• Several parts of the C library are not tested for 8-bit user names. 

• Codeset mapping can vary between systems, so an 8-bit pattern can represent different characters on different sytems. 

• Password algorithms do not work with 8-bit characters.
