Right.  However, there is an option disable such checks:

  --allow-freeform-uid

       Disable all checks on the form of the user ID while generating a
       new one. This option should only be used in very special
       environments as it does not ensure the de-facto stan dard format
       of user IDs.


Shalom-Salam,
