linux的用户名规则,CentOS 6和RHEL 6上Linux用户名的真正规则是什么？

我正在编写一些可用于创建Linux用户帐户的Web UI页面。该Web UI将在CentOS 6(从RHEL

6派生)上使用。我发现关于什么构成有效的Linux用户名的信息不一致且不完整。我去了源代码，检查了Linux shadow-

utils源代码软件包，但我不能确保所查看的版本实际上与CentOS 6的版本相同。

以下是我当前使用的代码片段，其中包括从shadow-

utils软件包版本4.1.4.3复制/粘贴注释，加上我自己的一些注释以及Java正则表达式搜索，以使我了解阴影- utils来源。

chkname.c中引用的“

is_valid_name()”检查显然不是Linux上的useradd命令所使用的，因为注释(和C代码源)不允许名称以数字开头。但是，useradd确实允许创建一个帐户，例如“

1234”。

我将不胜感激，从现在的内容到更正确的调整，以及有关如何通过一些稍有不同的is_valid_name函数实现useradd.c的信息，我们将不胜感激。

谢谢！艾伦

/**

* Define constants for use in isNameLinuxCompatible(...) method.

*

* The source for the Linux compatible user name rule is is_valid_name(...) a function in the "shadow" package

* for Linux. The source file for that function has a comment as follows:

* User/group names must match [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]

* That expression is a little loose/sloppy since

* (1) the trailing $ sign is optional, and

* (2) uppercase A-Z is also ok (and case is significant, 'A' != 'a').

*

* We deal with (1) by using the [$]? form where the ? means zero or more characters (aka "greedy").

* We deal with (2) by using the CASE_INSENSITIVE option.

*

* Another way to express this is:

* 1st character: a-z_ required at least one char

* chars other than first and last: a-z0-9_- optional

* last character: $ optional

* Max length is 31. Min length is 1.

*

* NOTE: The initial ^ and final $ below are important since we need the entire string to satisfy the rule,

* from beginning to end.

*

* See http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html for reference info on pattern matching.
