Description
If we want to be able to simplify user login to a processing host, Appion user names need to be valid Unix/Linux user names. This is complicated by differences between OSes and even between Linux distribution as to what's a valid name. Generally though, user names should not include any special characters, spaces or capital letters. I recently saw someone register an account with the user name of the form Firstname Lastname. This shouldn't be allowed.
