As far as I remember, a UNIX username *must* start with an alphabetic character, so names starting with a number are illegal. At least, it was like that in the past. While Linux (and other systems) may have been or become more permissive, other systems may still be strict regarding that rule, so you may want to avoid number-starting usernames for portability. Ciao -- bronto PS: I don't have any reference to a document, I am afraid. It's just old experience (many years ago a friend of mine, trying to set his username to "4mori" on Linux, got an error message and a spit in his eye by the system ;) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
