Lars, can you input umlaut when you loged as lars (or whatewer user name you have) and not as root?

When I loged as normal user I can input Č芚Žž.
So the whole thing is just about passing $LANG.

We must initially set right $LANG for root and we win.



Yes, I encounter the same behaviour. Was tricky to test, since I'd got to find a container, which has local login users at all.

Okay, but I fear that this is a feature. I remember having had problems with the encoding of the root console all the while, i.e. on normal machines. I just don't notice it normally, because I'm using a root shell fired up by an ordinary user or ssh.

Anybody out there, who knows in more detail what's happening under the hood?

Regards,
- lars.
