[root at CENT01 ~]# useradd -m ロス useradd: invalid user name 'ロス' So, looks like it needs to be in Roman characters. But it appears even I have some issues via my terminal too: [root at CENT01 ~]# useradd -m ross [root at CENT01 ~]# cd /home/ross/ [root at CENT01 ross]# touch ロス [root at CENT01 ross]# ls ?????? So, my Japanese input isn't being displayed. But I did get a warning when I SSH'd in about that: -bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) Hope that helps.
