adduser vs useradd



 Hi all

I have a problem with adding users in the form of user@domain.com . If I use 'useradd' as follows

useradd user@domain.com

It will work most of the time but sometimes it fails with bad username. So I tried using adduser --force-badname but this always rejects user names with an '@' symbol.

adduser --force-badname user@domain.com

I am running 'testing'

Haven't seen Toy Story yet so can never remember the code names :-(

Does anybody have any suggestions or comments to overcome this problem. I have found no other problems with the user names with @ symbols that I have managed to create.

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards
