Public bug reported: I have 2 user accounts on my system: 1: user 2: user_name
I want to add them to each other's groups so that by default they can always modify each others files. When trying to modify group "user_name"'s properties in the users admin application, clicking OK gives me a popup window with the message: "Group name has invalid characters Please set a valid group name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers.". As the group name already exists and can't be changed from its properties window this seems like a contradiction.
