Not sure if this was asked before. I need to addusers with dots in usernames through console. My Mandrake as well as RH systems gives
not possible - . is not an allowed character in usernames
if you want to create a username for an email address like firstname.lastname, use internal aliasing in your mailserver for this
actual usernames - login name that is - are the employee's empid or something similar - and it is aliased to firstname.lastname in the mailserver's userdb .. easier to do this with a ldap / sql backend.
