Hi!

I want to include a couple of email addresses in the /etc/adduser.message
file.

The file contains (among other lines):

Har du noen spørsmål kan de gjerne stilles til pil@gtf.ol.no
eller til trond@gtf.ol.no.

However the addresses appears as:

Har du noen spørsmål kan de gjerne stilles til pil.ol.no
eller til trond.ol.no.

to our users.

Is the @ character not allowed in /etc/adduser.message?

I have worked around this problem by inserting spaces before and after the
@ character but this doesn't look nice at all.

Should I use variables from /etc/adduser.conf instead?

Yours sincerely,
Trond Endrestøl.
