Synopsis: Bug in /usr/sbin/adduser State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: tom State-Changed-When: Wed Nov 20 04:07:45 PST 2002 State-Changed-Why: This is not a bug in adduser(8): you are using the command incorrectly. If you see the line: "Enter username[test]:" you have entered "test" in response to the line: "Usernames must match regular expression:" Instead of typing "test" as a regular expression, hit return to accept the default, or enter ^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$ if your adduser.conf has been modified to use "test" as the default regular expression. The fix you supplied misunderstands how the command should work - you do not "enter username second time", you enter a regular expression that valid usernames must match first, then a username later on. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=43677 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
