[Bug 1072556] [NEW] Can not adduser with just number

[Thomas E. Maleshafske]

Public bug reported:

Was trying to add a user via adduser with just the username of 1600 and the following is displayed:
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
I checked the options fore the NAME_REGEX in /etc/adduser.conf and it is commented out and shouldn't be affecting the adduser command.

** Affects: adduser (Ubuntu)
