I would suggest that you check out webmin <http://www.webmin.com> which I know for sure allows you to create user names with a '.' which of course would fall under the punctuation no-no per redhat-config-users. Don't know about underscore because I've never tried but I'm sure it will work. I generally would never use redhat-config-users - I don't generally even install X on servers and from the cli... useradd and userdel work just fine Craig -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
