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?
