The information you want is sort of scattered around. For
usernames, you want to reg_svr/reg_svr.pc:LOGN() to see what usernames
are accepted. The rules are basically:
- minimum of 3 characters long
- first character must be alphabetic
- all remaining characters must be letters, numbers, or '_'
- Username must be less than eight characters long.
The add_user_account query doesn't do this validation, although it does
check and disallow ", ?, *, \, [, and ]. See illegalchars[] in
server/qvalidate.pc, which is used for any query argv members that's
declared as type V_CHAR in queries2.c.
For lists, you want to look at the array badlistchars in
server/qsetup.pc.
