user names with a dot in it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I want to have in my machine user names like "name.lastname" or something
similar including a dot in the user name. But the standard instalation of
shrike don't let me add users with dots in their login.

    [root@machine root]# adduser name.lastname
    adduser: invalid user name 'name.lastname'

Is it possible to change some configuration, or override the username rules
to let me create usernames like the one I mentioned ??  Including a dot in
it ???

I also tried using ladduser command and using it with the -n option to avoid
creating the group for the user. I tried using quotes too and It didn't
work.

Thank you very much. I hope you can help me, I've searched and nobody
conclude anything about this matter.
