[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#364909: useradd: confusion in man page; suggested fix

[Nicolas François]

Hi,

Obviously, I forgot some of your recommandations.

Thanks to Christian and Alexander who also noticed.

Here is the new paragraph:
+      It is usually recommended to only use usernames that begin with
+      a lower case letter or an underscore, and are only followed by lower
+      case letters, digits, underscores, dashes, and optionally terminated by
+      a dollar sign. In regular expression terms: ^[a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]?$
+      On Debian, the constraints on the username are loosened:
+      Usernames must neither start by a dash ('-') nor contain a colon (':')
+      or an end of line ('\n').

Kind Regards,
