Synopsis: Bug in /usr/sbin/adduser

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: tom
State-Changed-When: Wed Nov 20 04:07:45 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
This is not a bug in adduser(8):  you are using the command incorrectly.
If you see the line:
	"Enter username[test]:"
you have entered "test" in response to the line:
	"Usernames must match regular expression:"

Instead of typing "test" as a regular expression, hit return to accept
the default, or enter ^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$ if your adduser.conf has
been modified to use "test" as the default regular expression.

The fix you supplied misunderstands how the command should work - you do
not "enter username second time", you enter a regular expression that
valid usernames must match first, then a username later on.
