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.
Thank you for your feedback. The necessary changes will appear in a future edition of this manual.
