Hi folks,
while migrating stuff to an fresh Gentoo box, I've recognized
that useradd doesn't accept usernames starting with a digit
(while manually changing in passwd still seems to work fine).
Why does Gentoo's useradd doesnt accept usernames starting
digits, while other distros do ?

Hi,
look at shadow-$version/libmisc/chkname.c and the gentoo patches.
