You cannot use useradd
to add users with a login name longer than
8 letters
useradd: invalid user name `long name'
Lots of programs restrict accounts to 8 letters and cannot handle long names.
Please do accept this. Don't try to get it to work by manually editing
/etc/passwd
) e.g. This will not work.
In S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 it is possible to create alias codes. This is a feature
of the sendmail package. You may, e.g., create user names as
firstname.surname@do.main
which point to the "normal" account.
This may be realised by editing /etc/mail/aliases
(/etcaliases
in 5.0 and before).
Please avoid using uppercase letters, blanks and special keys (German umlauts). Avoid usage of semi-graphic keys as dashes.
