I've no comments to the features but I've a problem to add my personal useraccount to a gentoo system. I've posted the question to the gentoo-user maillinglist but got no answer. Perhaps someone on the dev list can give me a answer. My normal useraccount uses a dot (f. e. f.bar). useradd -c "Foo Bar" -d /home/f.bar -u 500 -g 200 -s /bin/bash f.bar useradd: invalid user name 'f.bar' This is a example. My real username has 8 characters (with the dot). Whitout the dot, useradd works fine. Does anyone know where I must drive the screw? /etc/login.defs isn't it. Are the pam modules denying a dot?
