I tried to use both useradd and adduser to get a username typed as Firstname.Lastname. I tried also installing libuser and using luseradd, but also I got error. Is there a way to do that (of course it should be)?
I'm trying to write a script that takes a list of users from a file and creates the new users there are in. I can do that with the simple username, but I need to list Firstname.Lastname.
if I use: adduser --force-badname then I can get the user Firstname.Lastname but the home folder does not contain Desktop and Templates dirs..
as well if I use: useradd --create-home "john.doe" I can get the home folder but no Desktop and Templates inside....

OK SOLVED. (that was silly...) --> Desktop, Templates and other dirs are configured at first login.

The easiest way is to use to --force-badname switch.
adduser firstname.lastname --force-badname
You'll get a message Allowing use of questionable username. and then it will continue with creating the home directory and asking for the password.

@pietroletti They will either be created at first login or if you want them to be created when the user is added: The files and directories that are created in the user's home when the user is added are located in/etc/skel. Create what you desire to be added in that directory viamkdir /etc/skel/Desktopfor example. They will then be created when the user is added. Do this before running the script that adds the users.
