Bug#520586: adduser: underscore disallowed in usernames again
Package: adduser Version: 3.110 Tags: patch User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty It was recently reported to Ubuntu that adduser doesn''t support underscores in usernames. This appears to be an accidental regression introduced when refactoring the code out into AdduserCommon.pm, since the last previous mention of underscores in the changelog is this: adduser (3.63) unstable; urgency=low * allow underscores again. Bug in the regexp. Thanks to Steve Langasek. -- Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de> Thu, 04 Mar 2005 06:38:22 +0000 Attached is a patch to restore this behavior. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
