Vincent and gang, I just installed the new shadow-utils package from MDKSA-2004:126 on my 9.2 machines. Unfortunately, the bug that I reported in bugzilla didn't seem to make it into the fix: that usernames with periods in them no longer work. I'm forced to use a useradd from a 9.0 install to do the job. What is most strange is that I just logged on to bugzilla, and it doesn't have my bug report listed! I know I filed that a couple months ago, but it doesn't appear there. Most strange! This is a fairly significant issue for me (and others, as evidenced by some google searches), as setting up email accounts like "joe.smith" won't work with the stock (or updated) useradd. Did bugzilla have any data loss? Bob
