Actually I tried, and it seems there is nome bug: a) Created a new user names d�d� with kuser - no problem b) Tried to switch user: login failed, whatever password I give (name is shown as "dödö", maybe that's a clue for someone) c) Created a new user dodo, with pasword 123456 - works d) changed password for d�k�l� - login failed Both new user login as text outside TDE So there is some problem with accented caracters in TDE login (which of course is, in my opinion, a really secondary problem as you just have not to use these there, but there is indeed a problem). Mostly, kuser should not accept names or passwords that it won't accept later. Thierry
