Hi Folks,   
      
   I'm trying to put this regular expression in the trashcan file to prevent new   
   users from logging in with the same first and last name:   
      
   This string works when I grep two identical words in a file name testname.txt:   
      
   ===testname.txt=====   
   joe joe   
   same name   
   joe name   
   fred fred   
   ========end testname.txt   
      
   grep -E '(\<.*\>)( )+\1' testname.txt joe joe   
   fred fred   
      
   I put the expression   
      
   '(\<.*\>)( )+\1'   
      
   in the trashcan file, but I was still able to log in as a supposed new user   
   with the same first and last name..   
      
   Any ideas on what I'm messing up here? :)   
      
   Thanks for any help :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
