    Dear All,

    I want to create user account with dot between the username, but can't create, what setting should i change?

    test:~# adduser abc.ken
    adduser: Please enter a username consisting of a lower case letter
    followed by lower case letters and numbers. Use the `--force-badname'
    option to allow underscores, and uppercase.

    Thanks,
