Hello:
Yes, I just noticed the other thread. I think two people were working on the same problem.
We are going to outsource our dial-in. Therefore, we are required to include UID & out URL so the realm can be identified. Using email address is simple and easy! Any suggestions?

Hello List:
I am new to this list and this is my first posting.
Presently, I am using Red Hat 9.0 and soon planning to switch over to CentOS. I have one question. In RH user names can not contain special characters. For example my UID is 'kbajwa' and my email address is kbajwa@tibonline.net. Since '@' in the email address is a special
character,
I can not use my email as my UID.
Can I use email address as UID in CentOS?
My god it's a flashback to the OTHER thread I was just reading... To answer your question, no. It won't work in centos or rhel.
