Thank you for reporting the problem!
I'll explain it a bit.
The client fails when checking:
if (!silc_utf8_valid(client->realname, strlen(client->realname))) {
<...>;
return FALSE;
}
silc_utf8_valid returns:
return silc_utf8_decode(utf8, utf8_len, 0, NULL, 0) != 0;
Snipet from silc_utf8_decode:
if (!utf8 || !utf8_len)
return 0;
Unfortunately, it doesn't ensure that client->realname is filled, when
validating. That leads client to just not work by default in the
circumstance when real_name is left empty (e.g. pw_gecos on the password
database).
Below is the new version of silc-client-1.0.3 with the simple patch
included to fix the issue.
Contacted Pekka Riikonen and hope this will get fixed in the upcomming
1.0.4 (as it affects all platforms).
UPDATE: silc-client-1.0.3p1
