State Changed From-To: open->closed This is not a bug in adduser(8): you are using the command incorrectly. If you see the line: "Enter username[test]:" you have entered "test" in response to the line: "Usernames must match regular expression:" Instead of typing "test" as a regular expression, hit return to accept the default, or enter ^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$ if your adduser.conf has been modified to use "test" as the default regular expression. The fix you supplied misunderstands how the command should work - you do not "enter username second time", you enter a regular expression that valid usernames must match first, then a username later on. |
When requested to enter username second time(such as Enter username[test]: ) - It just print a message "Please enter a username". And it's looped. Fix: In the /usr/sbin/adduser program, in &new_users_name_valid subprogram: replace "if ($name eq $usernameregexp) { print "Please enter a username\a\n"; exit 0; }" to "if ($name ne $usernameregexp) { print "Please enter a username\a\n"; exit 0; }" How-To-Repeat: Just run the adduser, and add some user (test, for example). After "Ok, Let's go!", when it requested "Enter username [test]:" press the Enter, or type "test", and press the Enter.
