Title:
  Installer will not allow username with fullstop in it

Status in “user-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If I try to create a user with the username, say,   John.flux   then
  it complains that the "." is not a valid character.

  If I create the user on the command line (with adduser), it works.  I
  have now been using the username "john.flux" for the last year in
  Ubuntu with no sideeffects or problems at all.  It appears to be
  entirely safe to do so.

  The reason that I need to have this username is for the revision
  control system that the company uses.  My windows username is
  "John.Flux" and so my linux username needs to be the same.  The
  revision control system uses the username for commits etc.

  
  I should add that this 'problem' occurs in both the gnome and kde frontends.
