Quoting from passwd(4):
The login (login) and role (role) fields accept
a string of no more than eight bytes consisting
of characters from the set of alphabetic char-
acters, numeric characters, period (.), under-
score (_), and hyphen (-). The first character
should be alphabetic and the field should con-
tain at least one lower case alphabetic charac-
ter. A warning message is displayed if these
restrictions are not met.
I suspect SMF is being confused by you having a username that
starts with a number. That isn't really allowed, though it appears
to work in many cases.
Try using a username that doesn't start with a number, and try
using a different username that starts with a different number. I
suspect you will find that if it starts with a letter then it will
be just fine.
