User account restriction
 

Hi...

Does anyone know how to create user account with format like peter.pan ?? the linux doesn't accept this format.



Thanks

Hi, and welcome to LQ!

Modify the source to the shadow-password suite and
recompile ... alternatively, create the user without the .
and edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow manually as
root later on, and for good measure
mv /home/peterpan /home/peter.pan
later on as well ...


Cheers,
Tink

thanks so much!
