I was trying to add a user called joebloggs and accidentally hit other keys as I pressed enter:
useradd -u 12345 joebloggs$*
(on French keyboards the $ and * keys are next to Enter)
doing a cat of /etc/passwd doesn't show anything nasty:
joebloggs:x:12345:12345::/home/joebloggs:/bin/bash
Is there anything else I should be aware of or checking for?
"joebloggs"? – sr_ Oct 18 '11 at 07:58
