You can't. It's by design.

If you had bothered to do a "man 4 passwd" you would have found this:

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

This applies to all systems, Trusted or Untrusted --- and indeed, to all flavors of UNIX as it has for decades.

Shashi Bhargava,
Maybe you had work with System V system but in hp-ux you just canâ t do that, and You canâ t change that. Why you really need that?

Good Luck,
