Hi!  Ok, here goes...I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if moira
legitimatly is not letting me do this...

In modifying someone to "registerable" I accidentally changed the
login name to be ".".  Currently, the entry stands as: 

Desired login name: .
Login name: .                    Full name: Mc Clanahan, Betty Lou
User id: 27374                   Login shell /bin/csh   Class: GUEST
Account is: Registerable (0)     MIT ID number: 052408046 Signed: Yes
No secure password set.
Comments:

I've tried to modify the login in name to be "#27374" but it fails to
modify with the following error message: 

moira: Signature failed to verify in ModifyFields
User . not updated due to errors.

I'm using the text client.

Thanks very much!


Pam
