What does that mean? You want to add a username called "1"?

useradd 1 ?

Code:
$ sudo useradd 1
useradd: invalid user name '1'

$ sudo useradd m

$ sudo useradd one

$
i've just added 2 users to my system, one named 'm', the other 'one'.
a single digit is invalid.

This depends on the distribution. I can add single digit usernames just fine on Fedora 20.

Yes, i wanted to use username "1" literally. Just my personal preference.

Is this really impossible? :(

I thought if this can be done by others - fedora could do also. I know it is a security issue but having a strong password then it should be fine :confused:. Meaning single digit username should not restricted like other distro do.. because strong password will be inplaced.
