Package: openssh-server Version: 1:4.3p2-5.1 Severity: minor If you copy files from one system to another with scp, the filenames don't always end up in the expected character set. For instance, when files are copied from a iso-8859-(1/15) locale machine to a machine with UTF-8 locale, the filenames show up unreadable to local console and X programs.
The openssh server probably needs to be aware of the local locale; but that will probably not solve the case where one user's locale differs from the system locale, unless the character sets happen to be rather compatible. Am I missing an easy way to make sure filesnames are stored with local locale settings (in non-interactive login sessions such as scp)? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.99 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.7 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.24 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.10.02+dfsg-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.4.4-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam-m 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-r 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselin 1.32-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0. 0.9.8c-3 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-11 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii openssh- 1:4.3p2-5.1 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime openssh-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information: ssh/insecure_rshd: ssh/insecure_telnetd: ssh/new_config: true * ssh/use_old_init_script: true ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen: ssh/disable_cr_auth: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
