Comment 1 H 2005-10-08 10:34:58 UTC 
In my opinion this is a serious bug, blocking a great amount of the world's 
population from making Linux totally native to their language.
Comment 2 Adrian Bunk 2005-10-15 14:58:57 UTC 
This problem is in no way related to the kernel.
Comment 3 H 2005-10-15 15:11:48 UTC 
So is the code for creating users elsewhere, or do you imply that this works 
in the kernel?
Comment 4 Adrian Bunk 2005-10-15 15:41:31 UTC 
The code for creating users is in userspace utilities like adduser.
