Public bug reported:
On a console login (CTRL+ALT+F{1-6} ), when trying to type a username
with an @ symbol in the username, the username is cleared.
This would make it so someone with an @ symbol in there user name cannot
login at a console.
I am not certain the package that this affects
Is this a PAM or getty or login problem?
This problem does not exist on a fedora computer that we tested FC5 or
FC6
Steps to reproduce:
CTRL+ALT+F1 (go to a console)
start typing a username then try typing @ symbol --> the username is cleared.
(tested on edgy and dapper)
** Affects: pam (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

password prompt doesn't accept @ symbol
