Hello David -
You are correct - the dash (-) is being interpreted as an array specifier between the dot (.) and the underscore (_). I have forwarded your mail to Mike so he can fix the manual. BTW - I always use an escape on the single characters just to make it more obvious what is supposed to happen. Ie. a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\_\@ Thanks for pointing this out. regards Hugh On Sat, 16 Mar 2002 08:08, David Miller wrote: > Hi all: > Have found what I believe to be an error in the Radiator manual (2.19 -- > section 6.4.30) regarding UsernameCharset.
