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 at 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?
