Description
I cannot create a new user with an underscore in the username using this plug, but I can with the installer.
The command `adduser` conforms to[ IEEE Standard 1003.1-2001](https://standards.ieee.org/standard/1003_1-2001.html). This allows for periods, hypens (not at the start), underscores, and @, and the possibility of adding a $ at the end (samba support).
