I have implemented root on this machine - so I modified GDM to allow

Running Squeeze - tried to add a user today using the graphical front
end under Gksudo ...everything except properties was grayed out.
I have implemented root on this machine - so I modified GDM to allow

Hello everyone,
For compatibility reasons, I need to add a user with a dot (.) in his
name. "adduser" does not allow this, even if I invoke it with the
parameter "--force-badname".
Can anyone show me a possibility to make "adduser" ignore this
restriction for this one time? The user is only fo

people more access than they need.
Thanks!
Jen
