Version: Debian 7.4<br>
Severity: Minor<br>
<br>
In /etc/adduser.conf, the NAME_REGEX string has an error. The $ is
intended to have its normal reg ex meaning as "end of string" so
it shouldn't be preceded by the '\' character.<br>
<br>
Bug: NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*\$" <br>
Fix: NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*$"<br>
<br>
This is probably not noticed because </font><font face="Courier
New, Courier, monospace">NAME_REGEX</font> is commented out in
adduser.conf by default.<br>
