I disagree ... not that it matters what I think. If chown and chgrp allow dots to seperate user and group, I don't think they should not be allowed in user names (or at least this should be a major factor to consider).
"I don't think they should not be allowed", is that double negative intentional? :)
Accident ... I don't think they should be allowed :)
I think '.' as a separator for chown etc. is a GNU thing. I seem to remember Solaris only accepts ':'.
right ... if this was solaris, dots would be ok :)
but ... I still think dots should not be used. I can see the benefit too though.
