[Pkg-shadow-devel] Wiki Page abount User Accounts in Debian

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

sadly,
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2024-November/013510.html
did not prompt any replies. I have therefore done some research and
found https://wiki.debian.org/UserAccounts. Since I found that a quite
good introduction to the topic, I decided to re-work the page, brought
some structure into it and would like to solicit your opinion and
comments to this page. It's a wiki, feel free to edit.

I will next write some language about encoding of user names and about
the different approaches to what constitutes a valid user name and what
constitutes a sensible user name. I plan to go public on debian-devel
with this once the page has reached a status that I find acceptable as
base of discussion. This might pretty well be this weekend already,
since I would like to go forward with adduser.

Please comment and/or help, if you can find the time. I would appreciate
that.

Greetings
Marc
