"however posix fills an important role in getting everyone on the same page for interoperability." Isn't that exactly what the posix username rules are doing? Specifying a set of characters which are portable across systems to allow for interoperability between current and legacy unix systems along with most non-unix systems. "Start with linux" Which linux? Debian/Ubuntu, Redhat/Fedora, shadow-utils, and systemd all differ. "get a patch in that changes the defination of the user name from a subset of ascii to a subset of utf-8" ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so the POSIX definition already specifies a subset of UTF-8. |
