    hi list,

      I can't able to create users having decimal point(s) in their name.
    i.e nav.neet
    Notice: decimal point between nav & neet.

    #useradd nav.neet
    userdd: invalid user name 'nav.neet'

    Since, this server will be used as Mail Server & my existing mail
    server (qmail on Redhat 6.2) supports DOTs in user name.Due to this
    problem, i export users from my existing server to new server.
    So, no upgradation mail !!!.

    OS used/tested:
    Redhat 9
    Fedora Core 1,2 & 3

    OS that supports DOTs in user name:
    Redhat 6.2.7.2 & 7.3

    Tested by others(successfully):
    HP-UX,Solaris & Debian Woody

    Any help on this regards?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Navneet
