Kolab 1.0.14 LDAP Error on UTF-8

Hi Dan,

I have already installed and tested Kolab 1.0.14 on FC2 using redhat9 
packages.
It was easy within few minutes :)
For those who are interested in what to change - they can write me 
email.

It is possible to write ASCII names which I accessed through LDAP using 
Mac Mail and Entourage. I have to say Kmail 1.6.2 on FC2 had problems 
and did not accessed them through LDAP. Worse thing is Kolab (or better 
say LDAP) not handle properly UTF-8 characters, on entry of Name 
including our national characters it finished like:

LDAP Error, could not add object cn=Nataša 
Čloženšičiková,cn=external,dc=...
Invalid DN syntax

(on ASCII interpretation cn=Natasa Clozensicikova)

/etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="sk_SK.UTF-8"

Without support of our alphabet it is useless of course.
I have downloaded latest 2.1.0 and going to install and test.
Or do you have better idea? On case 2.1.0 works fine with UTF-8 do you 
estimate problems with KDE PIM 3.3 ?

Best regards,

Tomas
