Colon separated text was supposed to be the password file format export, not entirely sure what to do in this case.
$man 5 passwd
"The login name must never begin with a hyphen (``-''); also, it is strongly suggested that neither upper-case characters or dots (``.'') be part of the
name, as this tends to confuse mailers. No field may contain a colon (``:'') as this has been used historically to separate the fields in the user data-
base."
This is BSD version.
