I have done it.

Now user/group names are considered acceptable only if
they match ^[^-:\n][^:\n]*$

This is done to preserve /etc/{passwd|shadow|group|gshadow}
integrity and not confuse shadow tools with user/group
names looking like option names.

This is all sanity checks that we intend to perform.
Everything else should be done by higher level
(e.g. adduser).
