I have similar experience, only I think that this is even worse... In Dapper, when I create a user whose password (not name) contains non- ascii character, then I get no error messages at all, and the user is created normally. The result, however, is that the newly created user can not log in to the system!
Suggestion: If the system can not be changed to support utf-8 characters, then both should be checked to see if they comply with the rules. Currently it seems that password is only checked to see if the user has entered the same password twice. It would also be nice to have some sort of info box in the user creation screen. The box could tell the user which kind of characters are allowed in the name and password fields. -- Cannot create a user "håkan" https://launchpad.net/bugs/23475 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
