I would really need this feature for copying about 1200 LDAP Users...
Technically this seems to be no problem :)

Minor edit needed in patch.

In django/contrib/auth/models.py, shouldn't the last sentence of line 131 actually read "Alphanumeric characters only (letters, digits, periods and underscores)." rather than "Alphanumeric characters only (letters, digits and underscores)."?

This restriction exists in current admin as well, should not block nfa merge.

Patch needs improvement: set

The new regex in the patch needs a trailing $.

Patch needs improvement: unset

I appended the "$" to the regexp, and fixed to minor errors in the docstrings of the patch.
