I've been trying to find out exactly what characters can be used to form a usernames. Obviously letters and numbers are fine, but what about punctuation (i.e. "john.smith", "john-smith"). Does anyone have a list of what punctuation characters will work in usernames on HPUX11? Any other types I didn't list?
Thanks

Re: Acceptable characters in HPUX usernames
The useradd command may be used with the "login" argument, where "login" is the new login name, specified as a string of printable characters. It may not contain : or a new line (\n).

Re: Acceptable characters in HPUX usernames
a-zA-Z0-9._-
and maybe a few others but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what are all the valid characters in a user name on HPUX?
Thanks.

The login name must begin with an alpha character and may only contain alphanumeric and underscore characters.
