Please note that this Bug is private and may not be accessible as it contains confidential Red Hat customer information.

Description of problem:

IPA allows creating a user account with numeric name, But sudo doesn't work for
the user.

I have also observed that getent is also not working for the user.

[root@ipa1 ~]# id 2345
uid=923600013(2345) gid=923600013(2345) groups=923600013(2345)
[root@ipa1 ~]# getent passwd 20319
[root@ipa1 ~]#
