I am trying to add a user and it doesn't seem to be working, I only see root?

so I can't use CAPS in a user name

For unRAID, from looking at the source code of 'useradd.c':

- only lower case letters [a-z], digits [0-9], underscore [_], or dash [-] characters allowed (except a dollar sign [$] may occur as the last character)

- first character must be a lower case letter or an underscore

- last, and only last character may be a dollar sign

- maximum length is 32 characters

 

For Windows reference:

- Logon names can be up to 104 characters. However, it isn't practical to use logon names that are longer than 64 characters.

- A Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or earlier logon name is given to all accounts, which by default is set to the first 20 characters of the Windows 2000 logon name. The Windows NT version 4.0 or earlier logon name must be unique throughout a domain.

- Logon names can't contain certain characters. Invalid characters are

 

      " / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < >

 

- Logon names can contain all other special characters, including spaces, periods, dashes, and underscores. But it's generally not a good idea to use spaces in account names.

 

For OS X, I'm not sure... still studying this as work proceeds to integrate AFP into unRAID version 5.0

 

thanks
