Re: [Condor-users] condor username (first-name.last-name) conflict with group name - or what?

[Sassy Natan <sassyn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks :-)

My problem is the all my users are in that form of firstname.lastname
and I can't do anything about this.

Is there any workaround solution? Like manual mapping user X to Y so
sassy.natan will translate into sassy_natan?

The only idea at the moment I have is maybe to use gridway or
CycleServer as the submitter tool......


P.S can u point me to the RFEs? (gogggggle it and found nothing)

Thanks
Sassy
