Hello world,


In all the machines I've updated recently, even today, adduser seems to be broken,
unless I missed something. I've scanned the -stable list for this but can't find
a mention.


When you invoke it, it says:

Usernames must match regex (shortened):
[^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]:

Then enter a username to add and it will continue to prompt you for username
till the cows come home ;-)

Any known fixes??

Thanks


-Wash
