Hi, I'm using F12 pre-built rootfs on TI's AM3517 board. I noticed that I am unable to add a user or a group which has uppercase letters in it's name. For example, I am able to add a user named "test" with "useradd test" but am not able to add "Test" with "useradd Test".

I was wondering if useradd was compiled with some specific patch since the shadow source code does not seem to have any such condition.

Also, I am able to add "Test" user or group on Fedora 14 on x86 arch,

Any help on this would be appreciated.

I suggest you just use F-14. F-12 is old and no longer maintained.
