Hi again It turns out the problem is user names that are over 32 characters. This is why useradd worked sometimes. The escape '\@' was a red herring. I will still use '\@' as it seems more correct but this does not fix my problem.
Can anybody tell me if the max user name is actually my problem, if it can be increased and how. Thanks in advance..
