Description JoungKyun Kim 2008-04-24 11:44:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

If system locale is not UTF-8 (for example LANG=ko_KR.euckr), authconfig force 
print stdout or stderr message with UTF-8. So on no utf8 locale system, 
authconfig message is broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

authconfig 5.3.12-2.el5

How reproducible:

changed system locale from UTF-8 to no UTF-8
(example: ko_KR.UTF-8 -> ko_KR.euckr)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo $LANG ( result ko_KR.UTF-8 )
2. run LANG="ko_KR.euckr" authconfig --help | iconv -f ECU-KR -t UTF-8
3. failed iconv (UTF-8 to UTF-8)
  
Actual results:

print broken message. only print UTF-8 message.

Expected results:

print message with no UTF-8 charset

The authconfig package which is in queue for RHEL-5.2 should already fix this.

Please try authconfig-5.3.21-3.el5 when it is released as part of RHEL-5.2 and
report here if it fixed the problem.
Thanks.
