Hi,Recently there has been discussion on the NFSv4 IETF working group email list w.r.t. internationalization for the domain name it uses for users/groups. Right now, I am pretty sure the FreeBSD nfsuserd(8) only works for ascii domain names, but... I am hoping someone knows what DNS does in this area (the working group list uses terms like umlaut, which I have never even heard of;-).
DNS does this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PunycodeThis page also shows some umlauts (German ones to be precise, e.g. "Bücher") and other things like chinese and other characters.
There are libs which do the conversation, e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/doxygen/index.html
I don't know if there are libs with more preferred licenses. Bye, Alexander. -- http://www.Leidinger.net alexan...@leidinger.net: PGP 0x8F31830F9F2772BF http://www.FreeBSD.org netch...@freebsd.org : PGP 0x8F31830F9F2772BF
