Hungarian accents with SSH

[Attila Nagy <bra_(_at_)_fsn_(_dot_)_hu>]

Hello,

I am maintaining several OpenBSD server running on different
architectures, but I have a common problem on all of these machines:
the support of accents.

I mean the strangeness around it, not the lack of it.

When I ssh to an OpenBSD server from a Linux machine I can type in the
accents and get what I want.
But when I login to an OpenBSD machine from a host, running windows (the
users use the PUTTY ssh client) the server gives back different
characters.

Like when I enter é (é) it gives me i (for example in joe) and so
on.

The strange thing comes when I do the following:
from a windows based host I login to a Linux-machine with PUTTY and from
that machine I use OpenSSH to login to the OpenBSD one.

Now it works.

It seems to me that Linux recognizes the character codes received from
that windows machine and automagically translates between them. OpenBSD
-in this case- gets what it normally gets from a Linux host and it works
fine and writes me the correct characters.

This is an intermediate solution, but I would need a good one. Could
somebody help me please how can I tell OpenBSD to recognize the windows
keymap (?) and to show me the right characters without the need of double
ssh-ing?

Thanks.

Regards,
