The problem is still there in the Debian packages from openssh 6.0p1-3. There is a workaround, which is to set the IUTF8 flag from the .ssh/rc file when need be, but this needs to detect the locales via LC_* env variables (e.g. by using "locale charmap"), which are not necessarily correctly passed (e.g. due to Debian bug 313317 / OpenSSH bug 1346). Note: the cooked mode itself doesn't mind about the value of the LC_* env variables; this is just a terminal problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
