Public bug reported: 1. Enter control panel 2. "Add account" 3. Use an invalid charcter, such as an upper case letter. 4. Get a confusing error message:
Failed to add account running '/usr/sbin/adduser' failed: Child process exited with code 1' This is an easy fix, and could keep a user from getting really confused.
