Mario, You can try to use alias, edit /etc/aliases e run /usr/bin/newaliases which maybe can run, By Lindomar, On Wed, 20 Nov 2002, Peer Stefan wrote:
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.
