[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#931411: samba-common-bin: samba-tool user create error with unicode characters in the names

[Pisch Tamás]

Hi,

Is it possible that the patch already applied? As I see, it is. I
tried to add a test user again:
samba-tool user create teszt1 p4ssw0rd --surname=Vezetéknév
but the result was the same.
