Also what's the distinction of 'cn' and 'gecos' in '= ;posixAccount'. It seems
most NSS LDAP clients use attribute 'cn' as gecos field today.

cn is UTF-8.=C2=A0 The gecos attribute is IA5 String - i.e. ASCII.
One of many ways rfc2307 does not fit the real world too well.
memberUid is another IA5 too, both it and uid are case-insensitive
even though rfc2307 is for case-sensitive Unix, etc.
