Re: [orca-list] Sonar does not like user name

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I've had this exact same problem on Ubuntu, which is why I always use 
lower case letters for the user ID's and hostnames. I also don't get too 
fancy with punctuation and pretty much just stick with dashes.

I couldn't find if lower case letters are even allowed in user ID's in 
Ubuntu, but the discussion at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-480114.html seems to 
indicate that you're not going to get very far using upper case letters 
in your Ubuntu user ID's. I'm not sure if this is definitive or not though.
