Hi,
I am trying to add users via a batch on a 4-STABLE

Using the perl made adduser:

[...]
Name:     test
Password: ****
Fullname: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Uid:      1000
Gid:      1000 (test)
Class:
Groups:   test
HOME:     /home/test
Shell:    /bin/sh
OK? (y/n) [y]:
Added user ``test''

And in the master.passwd I found :
test::1000:1000::0:0:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/test:/bin/sh


while if I use pw:

/usr/sbin/pw useradd -ntest [EMAIL PROTECTED] -d/home/test -g1000 -s/bin/sh -u1000
pw: invalid character `@' at position 4 in gecos field


Who is right of both the program ?  :-)

IMHO I find usefull to have the @ in the gecos field because it is an easy way to associate login <-> email in multidomain enviroment.
But probably there is some drawback I am not aware of ...
Any explanation ?


Thanks.
