ntpasswd not UTF-8 safe?

[Josh Howlett]

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.
