Adding users with names like that is a bad idea, as the quota commands will
get confused between UIDs and usernames. For example, if you run :

edquota -t 12345678

it may set the quotas for the user named 12345678, or with UID 12345678.
Because Webmin just calls thse commands, it cannot handle this situation
as you'd expect.
