I cant add user with GUI
I cant add user with GUI
Hello, I was able to add a username called 2000006715 before. Then I deleted that user. Now I want to add the same user, but it gives an error as seen in the picture. What is the reason of this? How can I solve it? thanks
Re: I cant add user with GUI
From man useradd
Usernames may contain only lower and upper case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes. They
can end with a dollar sign. Dashes are not allowed at the beginning of the username. Fully
numeric usernames and usernames . or .. are also disallowed. It is not recommended to use
usernames beginning with . character as their home directories will be hidden in the ls
output. In regular expression terms: [a-zA-Z0-9_.][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*[$]?
Usernames may only be up to 32 characters long.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: I cant add user with GUI
I wonder some update 'fixed this' since you initially created the account. I just tried it in my rhel 8 in both Gnome and command line - no go!
Re: I cant add user with GUI
The earlier GUI must have had a flaw that allowed what it should not have. The current one does it as it should have all along. That is perfectly normal; bug are found and fixed.
