Description of problem: User/group names containing '.' are not allowed by U5 shadow-utils' useradd. This is a regression. shadow-utils-4.0.3-23.04 seems to me to have it right but it was broken again with -23.07. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): shadow-utils-4.0.3-23.08 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. useradd joe.schmoe 2. 3. Actual results: useradd: invalid user name 'joe.schmoe' Expected results: Successful creation of account Additional info: Please re-examine the changes between -23.04 and -23.07 as I am fairly confident they broke this and perhaps more.
Created attachment 114983 [details] fix candidate It's almost same patch as in RHEL-4 and devel. Please let me now it works.

After U6, the bug is still here. This is not so exciting as RHEL4 does not have this bug and RHEL 2.1 does not have this bug too (and RHEL3 had not have this bug in the past). My (updated) patched packages are here: ftp://ftp.pslib.cz/pub/users/Milan.Kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/ ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/milan_kerslager/RHEL-3/stable/
Sorry - I did not used patch from comment #12 so '$' char has not been allowed. New package is available from the URL above, auto-join to the Samba domain now works.
