Hi All!
I have recently installed Redhat Linux Enterprise Edition with one of our customer. The problem i am facing is in user creation.
Earlier they were using RHL 8.0.
The user name are with (.) eg. (name.surname@domain.com). How do we create the same in RHL Enterprise Edition?, the error reported is "invalid username" We have done a full complete installation.
Thanks Val

This is a bug in RHEL. Your basic option is to add a user with vipw, or use useradd and then vipw and edit the password file. If all that the logins are being used for is email, I would use any usernames, but have canonical maps offering username <-> user.name mappings.
