    Allow the "@" and "!" characters in passwd file GECOS fields. · 32bd1c2b
    David Bright authored
    Two PRs (152084 & 210187) request allowing the "@" and/or "!"
    characters in the passwd file GECOS field. The man page for pw does
    not mention that those characters are disallowed, Linux supports those
    characters in this field, and the "@" character in particular would be
    useful for storing email addresses in that field.
