    Slackware Username

    Why is it that in Slackware 8.0 i can add a user with a combimation of uppercase and lowercase letters, But not in Slackware 8.1?
    Security issue?

    Thats odd. I used to use "Schotty" as my login, but now its just "schotty". So I do know what you are talking about. I would say make sure that you ahve a letter as the first character of the username.
