Hi people,
1) As you see below, quotes and others tricks didn´t work in 8.0 :
XXX:~ # useradd suse\.br
useradd: invalid user name 'suse.br'
XXX:~ # useradd suse"."br
useradd: invalid user name 'suse.br'
XXX:~ # useradd "suse.br"
useradd: invalid user name 'suse.br'
2) I´ve already tried to set an alias, like .qmail-suse.br . It didn´t
work.
3) I know that is possible creating the users by myself in /etc/passwd , but
this is not a good solution for me. I have thousands of users.
I wondering what really have changed in 8.0 ? Only the useradd source code?

I just put the name in quotes and it added it just fine.

Subject: [suse-security] Problems creating usernames with dots
Hello,
Well, maybe it´s a little off-topic , but does anybody know why SuSE 8.0
don´t accept creating a username with dots, e.g. , while I try creating the
user suse.br :
# useradd suse.br
useradd: invalid user name 'suse.br'
I have seen all the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig, Suse DB and
Google and I haven´t found anything related to this topic. =((
