Domains starting with numbers

Submitted by ice on Fri, 08/28/2015 - 17:50

Hi,

I've added a domain started with 3 numbers like: 532something.com and virtualmin added the system username: five32something.com instead of 532something.com

The first number was replaced by chars?!?

Please notice that I've set the system username to be same as domain.

Everything is fine for the domains starting with 2 numbers or 1. So, I guess there is a bug if the domains starts with 3 numbers..

Do you know how I can fix this?

Thank you.

This is expected - usernames starting with numbers can cause problems for some Linux tools (like quota commands), as they get incorrectly interpreted as UIDs.

Ok Jamie, thank you for this explanation. I didn't know that. This issue can be closed.
