Topic: Adding Users

[Zee Naushad]

It seems that I am having issues adding a new user under SME 5.5.

I fire up the web control panel, add a user, the account is locked.  So far so good.

I try changing the password and it still remains locked.  I've tried several different passwords, as well as going into the console and typing in passwd user

I type in the new password, re-confirm, and it still doesn't work.

Please help!

The user I am trying to add is called prime-style

It seems that any user name with a dash in it doesn't work well.

If I change the user to primestyle and then try to reset the password, it works flawlessly.

Perhaps a bug in SME?

I believe it's been listed at the following link, for some time now.

I would expect this to be remedied in the next release.  (Hopefully)
