Package: adduser Version: 3.97 Severity: normal I need to install virtual-users on my courier-imap-server and must install the $USER as
/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but if I use:
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
adduser --home /home/[EMAIL PROTECTED] \
--shell /bin/bash \
--uid 3186 \
--ingroup virtualusers \
--force-badname \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
I get this:
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
adduser: To avoid problems, the username should consist only of
letters, digits, underscores, periods and dashes, and not start with a
dash (as defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001). For compatibility with Samba
machine accounts $ is also supported at the end of the username
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
So how to create local hosted virtualusers?
Under Sarge it was working... and under Etch I need to edit /etc/passwd
/etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow by hand...
It seems, that "--force-badname" does not work.
It is not realy funny, since I have already 186 such virtualusers
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
