Hi Werner,
agetty in get_logname() interprets '@' and '#' as a special chars
(see man page or the code for more details).
The problem is that we already have crazy users who want to use AD
(access domain) usernames in format user@domain on serial line or
console.
Yeah, I know that char '@' is not between allowed username chars
(POSIX 3.429), but do we really need to support the spacial
interpretation of the @ and # chars?
I think it's old confusing legacy. Objections?
