Yup. When you ran adduser it asked you for defaults, and you didn't read the prompts carefully enough and thought you were adding the user :) Then for this question : Usernames must match regular expression: [^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]: you typed "tst". Try running: adduser -config_create and setting the defaults again, then go back in and add your user.
