Registration fails if user name contains ":" — at Initial Version

Description
The schoolserver idmgr daemon passes the user name provided by Sugar directly to useradd to create new UNIX users.
The character ":" isn't allowed in /etc/passwd and makes the registration fail (without providing a clear explanation given, this is another bug imho).
For maximum version interoperability, I suggest *both* Sugar and the XS should convert illegal characters to "_".
