ntpasswd not UTF-8 safe?

I don't think that the ntpasswd function in smbencrypt.c is safe with multi-byte character encodings, such as UTF-8. I think that the problem is in the conversion of the password to Unicode, for the construction of the NT hash. The function assumes a single-byte character-set encoding (which works fine for Latin1, etc) but not for multi-byte encodings such as UTF-8. I'm not quite sure what the best approach to fix this is; does anyone have any suggestions? best regards, josh.
