Description of problem: MCC (Manage Users) does not allow creation or editing of Mixed-Case user names, despite the fact that the underlying 'adduser' command does allow these. Is there any known reason why MCC places this restriction on user names? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): userdrake-1.13.6-1.mga2 How reproducible: Create or edit a MixedCaseUser name Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a MixedCaseUser in MCC Users and Groups 2. This is not allowed and returns an error explaining that user names must be in lower-case. 3.

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. As there is no maintainer for this package I added people who worked on it in CC, as well as the drakxtools maintainer.

Using mixed case for user names is not a good idea. I created two users, tester and TESTER. Then send a message using mail TESTER. The mail went to tester, not TESTER. That's correct according to rfc 821, although wrong according to rfc2821. I think the restriction should be kept.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
