I had the same issue and Fedora Core 1. This is a bug in RedHat. This is
how I resolved it. Add the user using all lower-case letters first. Then
edit the user and group names to how you want them in the /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, and /etc/shadow files.

Subject: adding user starting with caps letter fails on linux
I tried to add user with name 'NewUser' and got
following message -
useradd: invalid user name 'NewUser'
Can someone help me to know the reason behind it?
Thanx
