Did you create a login class 'pt_PT' in login.conf?
pt_PT:Portugeese users:\
:charset=iso-8859-1:\
:lang=pt_PT.ISO8859-1:\
:tc=default:
and did you run
# cap_mkdb login.conf
after that?
The main reason I like to create a specific class is to keep default as
is, but if you're the only one on your system, you could set 'lang' and
'charset' in the default section and leave the class-field in the
password file empty.
The important thing is to set the charset variable.
True, it is not completly obvious how to get it right, and there is more
than one way to do it which can be confusing. The individual user can
override the varables set in login.conf(5) by editing .login_conf.
If you feel you need to play and test, it might be wise to try and set
some environment viriables: MM_CHARSET and LANG are set by the above
mentioned.
Cheers, Erik
PS: While you are at it, you might want to change password format to
blowfish (blf) instead of md5, this is also done in login.conf. But
that's another story :-)
