Package: adduser Version: 3.63 Severity: normal I can not explain how the following can happen:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvs# addgroup 'a:a' addgroup: To avoid problems, the username should consist of letters, digits, underscores, periods and dashes. For compatibility with Samba machine accounts $ is also supported at the end of the username [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvs# addgroup 'a_a' addgroup: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured via the name_regex configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname' option to relax this check or reconfigure name_regex. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvs# The first message tells me that the second call of addgroup should work, but it does not. The more strange is that it the error message the second time is different. And it also mention name_regex that is nowhere to be found (I did not digged at the source code to find out...). Also, I could not find any documentation on valid group names. Only at adduser.conf(5) I found USER_REGEX that configures user names (not group names). Hope this helps.
