crp Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 so the Debian OS didn't put up a warning or anything like that and a user was created with upper case letters. Are we stuck with this or is there a way to rename the account name without messing up the file shares and security settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 How did you enter the username? Maybe had caps lock on? I've always used a lower case name and it's always created exactly what I typed. I can't imagine why it would give a warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine why it would give a warning. Because the infrastructure does not play nicely with a name that has an upper case letter in it.
