+.SH RESTRICTS
+Currently,  the  shadow  suite  enforces  the following restrictions on 
+user names:
+
+.nf
+\- must begin with a lower case letter or underscore
+\- can only contain lower case letters, underscores, and dashes
+\- may end with a dollar sign
+\- regex for these requirements: [a\-z_][a\-z0-9_\-$]*
+.fi
+
+The length of usernames is restricted by glibc (via the UT_NAMESIZE define 
+in the utmp header file).  This may range from 8 characters on older 
+systems to 32 characters on newer systems.
+
+Note Gentoo adds a patch which allows people to create usernames with a 
+dot in them.
