Receiving an error while creating a user with numbers. Can anyone guide me on how to create a user with numbers like an employee ID, for example 8811002.
I am receiving the below error:

x8811002or any valid character at the beginning. Some answers here should be useful to know why you should not create users like that. – Edgar Magallon Nov 30 '22 at 08:16id. This is what some publicly accessible Unix shell hosts do, so the user with UID 1234 might have the name m1234 or similar. – Kusalananda Nov 30 '22 at 09:13
