Summary

0000544: Problem with adding users with names containing '\'

Description

When adding users containing '\' character, group and gshadow contains wrong username. Example:
adduser "BLAH\user"

/etc/passwd: BLAH\user
/etc/shadow: BLAH\user
/etc/shadow-: BLAH\user
/etc/group: BLAHuser
/etc/gshadow: BLAHuser

The '\' character is lost in last two files.

Additional Information

I've made the patch which fixes the problem (against busybox 1.00). It's in the attachment.
