Description of problem: Per the useradd man page for RH9, user names cannot begin with a number. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9 How reproducible: Aways. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open above link. 2. Read section 6.1.1.1. Naming Conventions Actual results: Department code followed by user's last name (029smith, 454jones, 191brown, etc.) Expected results: Nothing. This is not a valid example. Additional info: The naming convention change to disallow numbers as user ids or characters in user ids renders RH9 a non-viable option for deploying to the desktop company wide. We live in a world ruled by MS with MS or Novell login ids. We will NOT be creating new ones just for the use of RH.
