Severity: important
Hi:
This is the behaviour:
mithrandir:~# adduser john.doe
adduser: Please enter a username consisting of a lower case letter
followed by lower case letters and numbers. Use the `--force-badname'
option to allow underscores, and uppercase.
mithrandir:~# adduser --force-badname john.doe
adduser: To avoid problems, the username should consist of a letter or
underscore followed by letters, digits, underscores, and dashes. For
compatibility with Samba machine accounts $ is also supported at the
end of the username
mithrandir:~#
Still, useradd will gladly add these kind of usernames. For all I know,
usernames containing dots used to be POSIX illegal, but they are illegal no
more. chmod, for instance, will allow `chmod user:group whatever`
syntax (using colon instead of dot-separating old notation) just for this very reason.
Since this bug impedes adding a legal (so I think) username, I think this
deserves the "important" level.
