Hmmm,
[root@localhost root]# redhat-config-users
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py", line 294, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked
self.parent.ADMIN.addGroup(groupEnt)
RuntimeError: name contains invalid char `.'
Well, it happens in Redhat 8.0 as well. Is this something that Linux/Unix supports? a '.' in a username. No experience, but you may simply have to contend with firstname_lastname
From
http://www.udel.edu/help/unixacct.html
it states
UNIX Username (User ID) -
format: 2-8 lowercase letters - no spaces, numbers or punctuation
marks
There must be a reason.
