>From http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432270:
"You cannot create accounts with non-ASCII chars. However, you can
create the account with the non-ASCII chars removed and then update the
name.
I think this is because the gecos field can only contain ASCII chars.
This field is not updated afterwards.
If I am right, the fix is either ensuring gecos is ASCII -- or allowing
UTF8 in gecos."
Fix is (quoting again):
"gecos doesn't seem to be required..
tools that look at gecos (getent passwd $USER) seem to fall back on cn
anyway.
removed the existing gecos fields in the database and changed mango not
to add it anymore.
Note: lots of users didn't have gecos anyway."

trunk/lib/user.php
Log:
* lib/user.php: Don't add a gecos field. It doesn't accept UTF-8, we
never update it, and the tools that look at gecos (getent passwd
$USER) seem to fall back on cn anyway. Fixes bug #432270.
