Multibyte-character username breaks input conversion
fadnincx opened this issue · comments
Summary
When the username contains a multibyte-character, no container can be started.
My setup
An Ubuntu 20.04 in enterprise environment, joined to an AD via SSSD so the usernames are taken from there and are out of our control.
Using a user who's name is stored as base64 in the AD because it contains multibyte-characters. (Users with just [a-zA-Z] are not affected).
What did I do
Just try to run any container such as
podman run -rm -it alpine
What did I get
conmon: option parsing failed: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Error: exit status 1
What did I expect
That the container starts as it does using a User who's name contains just [a-zA-Z].
Which versions did I use
$ conmon --version
conmon version 2.1.6

- I don't know if this is related to #272
sorry for the delay here. I think the underlying reason is the same as #272 and as such I'm closing this. We can take investigation over there
