Description

Various utilities have their own specific set of allowed characters (e.g. chown doesn't allow '\', although logging in with a username containing one and then creating a file will work properly with the correct owner). This should be unified.

Sub-Tasks

• chown doesn't work with usernames containing '\' character: Open
