--0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Here is something that is a little worrying. May I kindly ask the reason why FreeBSD doesn't support the creation of usernames with dots. Linux has no problem with such usernames. I am not a fun of Linux but I'd be happy if I could find a way of having usernames with dots, as opposed to my current practice of havng to create an alias if a user wants such a name.... -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse Tel: 254 2 313985 Loita Street., Fax: 254 2 313922 PO Box 10286, 00100-NAIROBI,KE.
