Re: ldap V3 and european accent

[marcel bruch <bruch.m@dni.de>]

thanks for hint.
my ldapbrowser 2.81 doesn´t support utf-8-encoded files with european accent.
With ldapadd /ldapmodify it works fine - windows-netscape displays all entrys
perfectly.
Linux-Netscape doesn´t work very well, but it´s better then before.

bye and thx !
