Standards for usernames, group names in Solaris?

2007-12-25 2:48:00

We're writing a user administration tool and I am trying to figure out what
Solaris' official standards are for what is a legal user name, legal group
name, etc.

I'm not having much luck with Google or docs.sun.com

Can someone point me please to a set of standards?

(also, anecdotes about things that aren't supposed to break but do are
appreciated. Our environment has mixed Solaris, OS X, OS 9, Windows 2000,
WIndows XP etc)
