I don't know how dbus_validate_utf8() works internally, so I tried to
stick to the dbus-provided version to check dbus types.
But if both do the same thing (If they don't it would be a bug, sure),
we can stick to sss_utf8_check()
(Another advantage might be that we could get away with linking against
libdbus only)
Hi,
attached are patches that only use sss_utf8_check() and work on RHEL-6
also.
