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....
