    Posted on

    Hi All,
    I have a question, I want to create a user with domain name in it.
    example i need to create a user name with abc@abc.com .
    I get the below error when i create one.

    [root@redhatunix etc]# useradd abc@abc.com
    useradd: invalid user name 'abc@abc.com'
    [root@redhatunix etc]#

    Does any one know if this is possible ?
