Login names using <first>.<last> format

807559May 2 2002 — edited May 5 2002

Hello,

We are considering using the <firstname>.<lastname> format for UNIX accounts. This has two potential problems: The login name may be very long (over twenty characters) and the dot in the middle may cause problems for some applications.

I know that 'admintool' does not accept that format but 'admintool' has always been broken anyway. Does anyone know of other problems we may encounter using the <firstname>.<lastname> format under Solaris 8.
