i know that "special characters" cause problems at the head of *nix logins
(like _ - * $ etc), but do numbers qualify as such a "special character"?
The _ and - can be used within the login (as can numbers), but it's when
they lead a login that they cause problems.
Someone with a login that is *all* numbers is having a problem logging
in... can login *eventually*, but never on the first try.
I tried man adduser (useradd) and it didn't help me ;o)
login
Specifies the new login name of the user. It can be a string of any
printable characters, except a colon (:) or newline (\n) character.
any ideas? we called our local unix guru(s) but they have yet to get back
to us ;o)
