Hi Bart,

is that dollar sign located at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the user name?

man 8 useradd states (emphasis mine):

"It is usually recommended to only use usernames that begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, followed by lower case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes. They can *end* with a dollar sign. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]?"

Kind Regards, Stefan Baur
