from man usermod:
-l login_name
The name of the user will be changed from 'login' to 'login_name'. Nothing else is changed.
thus I would think that 'usermod -l sue Sue' would be correct. No matter even if I reverse it to be 'usermod -l Sue sue, I get the same error.
'usermod invalid field Sue' or 'usermod invalid field sue'
I have to do more searching. I cannot believe that usernames with uppercase letters are illegal.
Thanks,
Bob

Help, I am trying to set up samba. I need to incorporate a raft of users with mixed case in their username. Linux will not allow be to do this. Is this an absolute - do I need to have all Winx users change their usernames or am I just hosed?
I have tried to enter the user as lower case, e.g. 'sue' and then 'usermod -l sue Sue' but I get an error saying that 'Sue' does not exist.
Helpful hints, pointers appreciated.
TIA
