I made an user account (alpha.beta) on my own server by means of a
SSH-connection. When I try to login, using the new account, over a
SSH-connection everything works fine. The problems start when I use that
account direct on the server...I get a "Login Incorrect".

I guess this problem has to do with the fact that I used a "." in a
username. Is there a solution to this problem? If not is it possible to
transfer the data (and rights!) of one user to another?

This was handled on misc@ a few years back.
The dot is basicly used for NIS with everything after the dot is basicly
the NIS domain.

Put its basicly possible
