samba - Sep 2008 - wrong userPassword hash generated by smbpasswd (pam_password=exop and smbk5pwd ) on a samba+ldap PDC running on FreeBSD

Hello everybody,

I've setup a SAMBA 3.0.X (3.0.32 right now) PDC with a LDAP backend
running on FreeBSD 6.3 some time ago and users can't just
login on unix box when the password their password, modified from
Windows, include non-ascii character (such as french letter like "?"
for example)
I guess that they must some kind of charset issue but i just don't
know how to debug this issue :-/ So would be thankful to anyone who
could help me on this issue

I post here the information i've collected so far, hoping that they
are relevant...It seems that everything works fine when using
smbldap-passwd instead of smbpasswd for modifying unix/windows
password ?!

Thanks !

Si everything is ok when using a password with only ascii char

But if the user ever add a extended ascii character such as "?", the
userPassword has generated is
wrong and the user can no longer login on a unix box (windows login works fine):
--
# smbpasswd testuser        (#password here is "mdp?")
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:

# smbldap-usershow testuser
dn: (...)
(...)

# openssl passwd -1 -salt 'w8UpPdhA'
Password: 			  (input "mdp?" as password)
$1$w8UpPdhA$Ykv5oOAYnTQknCjVF5kJc1  (the hash generated by smbpasswd
is different than the one generated by openssl -1 despite using the
same salt string)

# smbclient -U testuser -L mypdc (but windows login still works fine)
Password:
(...)
	testuser           Disk      Dossiers des utilisateurs du domaine

#

I'm just wondering why smbpasswd generate a wrong has whenever there's
a non-ascii character part of the password ??
