Hi.
Is there "an easy way" to reproduce this? Maybe username is not being
used because "that other program" did not use --force-badname parameter?

Well, I want to make it clear that this bug is a bug regardless of
Windows. The bug is simply that `adduser` does not reverse map the
resolved uid back into a canonical username. The idea is this:
`getent passwd foo` returns the record for one or many users, searching
based on the username "foo".
I apologize for not getting back on this sooner. I'm probably the worse
person in Linuxdom for making any judgements regarding Windows, Active
Directory, and Samba, and this I claim accounts for my ignorance about
this bug. I'd better let someone else take it up from this point. I'll
stay subscr
Also, I don't know what your comment "I am not able to reproduce the
method of getting a user name" means. There are other ways to have
user's introduced into the system than `adduser`. My specific example
are users delivered from Windows Active Directory using Samba and
Winbind. In this case, \ is
Actually I think I follow. You are being mislead by my use of '\' in a
name. My bug is not about '\' in the name. It is about canonicalization
of case as done by the `adduser` utility. The '\' just happens to be a
copy/paste from my particular example.

Uh. I didn't expect to have to quote my commands in a bug report. For
all I know your shell doesn't use \ as an escape character. Also, there
is a reason I put everything into single quotes.

I see no feedback justifying the specified feature, so for now I think
this bug should be marked Invalid. Perhaps Jerome if you can get back
to us on this we can look into these matters further later.

I see the following problems:
1. I am not able to reproduce the method of getting 'isi\jhaltom' as a
username. When I try it on feisty with adduser it drops the '\' when I
don't use quotes, or fails with a reasonable diagnostic when I do:
