Can't able to create user with DOTS in their name?

hi list,

  I can't able to create users having decimal point(s) in their name.
i.e nav.neet
Notice: decimal point between nav & neet.


#useradd nav.neet
userdd: invalid user name 'nav.neet'


Since, this server will be used as Mail Server & my existing mail
server (qmail on Redhat 6.2) supports DOTs in user name.Due to this
problem, i export users from my existing server to  new server.
So, no upgradation mail  !!!.


OS used/tested:
Redhat 9
Fedora Core 1,2 & 3

OS that supports DOTs in user name:
Redhat 6.2.7.2 & 7.3

Tested by others(successfully):
HP-UX,Solaris & Debian Woody


Any help on this regards?


Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Navneet
