sorry for a duplicates, that whas something with my mozilla/squid/bugzilla.redhat.com? It was unable to me to send a bug, may be due to cyrillic letters in messages?
I'll take a look at this. Thanks!
In theory, you should be able to use encodings other than ascii, so long as the encoding of the shell matches the encoding of the automount map. It *may* work, but no guarantees. (I'll note that I *can't* get it to work). Is this really posing a problem in your environment? Do you have a workaround? Since no one else has reported this problem, this is kind of low priority for me. Let me know if it is a big problem for you, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks.
Of course, I've change my mount points to latin names - that was a workaround. But this is not very usefull. I think, that it should be not really hard to fix - just change something like 'getstring' in C code to have any type of characters (i.e. not only [0-127] but [0-255]) And possible, to have mountpoints with UTF8 (default locale for modern RH lunuxes)?
