I think there may be some hidden depencies on 16 or less usernames in the kernel. You will also need to rebuild almost everything. Not just the libraries. If a program includes utmp.h it will need to re-compiled. This includes "w", "who", "last", "ftpd", etc The safest thing is to do a "make world" Tom
