Yes, no checking for dots.
Using solely this list of forbidden characters, one can still construct the
user names "." and ".." and "pw useradd .." does The Evil Thing.
(I Did This, but then refrained from using pw userdel for the obvious reason.)
I would argue that passing garbage for "-d dir" is different in that the
checking of the garbage is up to the invoker of the command.
