can't add user containing "." in the name
Asked by
Jon Poole
Using Ubuntu updated to the latest version 2 days ago with Apache2 as a web server and want to create users with names relating to domain names such as "www.whatever.com".
The GUI users and groups panel appears to show that incorporating a full stop in the name is acceptable, but won't actually do it. Trying to add the names without the dots works fine.
Any ideas?
