[Adduser-devel] Bug#389160: adduser: Please allow "@" in user names

Sun Sep 24 12:27:45 UTC 2006

Package: adduser
Version: 3.97
Severity: important

Please allow creation of user names containing an "@" character.
Currently, this does not work, even if NAME_REGEX has been changed
accordingly.

Background: I want to use PAM/saslauthd as configuration backend for a
virtual-domain-enabled Cyrus IMAPd.  For this to work correctly, my user
names must look like email addresses.

Regards,

uLI

Severity important as per suggestion of the maintainer.
