Hi,

I just installed FreeBSD 4.8 and tried to add a user to the system using 
'adduser foo'.

I get a few questions and then this:

-- 8< --
Don't worry about mistakes. I will give you the chance later to correct 
any input.
Enter username [foo]:
Please enter a username
Enter username [foo]: foo
Please enter a username
Enter username [foo]:
-- 8< --

...whatever I type in as username, the system rejects it.

I can add users via sysinstall. But this bothers me... what could be wrong?


Regards,

Johan Paul
