--- Begin Message ---Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.14-9 Severity: minor The man page for useradd says: On Debian, the constraints on the username are lowered: Usernames must neither start by a dash ('-') nor contain a colon (':') or an end of line ('\n'). However, it is usually recommended to only use usernames that begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, and are only followed by lower case letters, underscores, dashes, and dollar signs. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$] Problems: 1. It's not clear what "lowered" means. Are the restrictions less or greater on Debian? I suggest "loosened" or "tightened" appropriately. 2. The regex includes decimal digits, but you don't mention those in the text. The regex also suggests that the user name MUST end with a dollar character. What are you trying to say? That a dollar may appear, but only once and at the end? I suggest i) that you change "followed by lower case letters" to "followed by lower case letters, digits", and ii) that you sort out the regex (I can't since I don't know what you mean!). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.rrt Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.15.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii login 1:4.0.14-9 system login tools passwd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * passwd/password-mismatch: passwd/root-password-crypted: (password omitted) * passwd/username: rrt passwd/password-empty: passwd/md5: false passwd/user-uid: * passwd/shadow: true passwd/username-bad: * passwd/user-fullname: Reuben Thomas * passwd/make-user: true passwd/title: passwd/root-password-empty: passwd/user-password-crypted: (password omitted)
