Do you absolutely *have* to use the password file for this type of stuff?

If all you want is some form of textual database, that holds account
information, then you're much better rolling off some custom interface to a=
 set
of flat text files, instead of polluting your passwd files with information
that is not related to authentication.

(As for the original question, you dont say how exactly you 'are trying to =
use
usernames with '@' in passwd-file'.  You'll have to provide more informatio=
n,
if you really want someone to be able to help you.  The exact steps taken to
use such usernames, ar a good starting point.)
