In fact to Lindomar,
While creating the user, create default mail alias as a givenname.
So, suse warns you, give the givenname then.
Give first name with dot.
For example
First name : "x."
surname : "yx"
After that, you can use x.yz@domainname.com for e-mail alias.
Actually, this is alias, you can create more than one alias in the alias
field, while you are creating new user at new user page.

Hi Mario,
From: Mario Viana [mailto:marioj@secrel.com.br] 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'
Because . is not a valid character for users. What about "chown user.group file" ? Does the . belong to the username or is it the username-group delimiter?
I have seen all the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig, Suse DB and Google and I haven´t found anything related to this topic. =((
Dotted usernames were a bug until SuSE 8.0.
regards, Stefan
