Our organization has recently dropped the letters from in front of our usernames.  

Does anyone know if it is possible to create usernames on SME 6.0.1 that start with numbers?

I have never done this before, but I'm thinking try it and see what it does.

reading from the userpanel in the server-manager...

The account name should contain only lower-case letters, numbers, and hyphens, and should start with a lower-case letter. For example "betty", "hjohnson", and "mary-jane" are all valid account names, but "3friends", "John Smith", and "henry_miller" are not.

However, I think 7.0 doesn't have this issue.
