Yes, aliases work fine. however i was looking for examples of problems of creating a login account of first.last as the username. I tried this several years ago and had some problems. I need to convince a electricical engineer CTO type guy that hardly knows anything about unix systems.
I'm sure you all have see people with e-mails of first.last@domain.com Is this easy to do with linux?
I think think of a few ways... depending on your MTA... why not just setup an alias to first.last@domain.com to karl@hiramoto.org
Maybe I'm not understanding your question thorougly ;)
Cheers
