Use upstream's restrictions on user- and group names again
Upstream started supporting mixed-case names some time ago. Purely numeric names (#79682) are now forbidden again, as there is no way of distinguishing them from user/group IDs otherwise. Gbp-Dch: full

Subject: Relax usernames/groupnames checking
|
||||
|
||||
Allows any non-empty user/grounames that don't contain ':', ',' or '\n'
|
||||
characters and don't start with '-', '+', or '~'. This patch is more
|
||||
restrictive than original Karl's version. closes: #264879
|
||||
Also closes: #377844

|
||||
Comments from Karl Ramm (shadow 1:4.0.3-9, 20 Aug 2003 02:06:50 -0400):
|
||||
|
||||
I can't come up with a good justification as to why characters other
|
||||
than ':'s and '\0's should be disallowed in group and usernames (other
|
||||
than '-' as the leading character). Thus, the maintenance tools don't
|
||||
anymore. closes: #79682, #166798, #171179
|
||||
|
||||
Status wrt upstream: Debian specific. Not to be used upstream
