Hey, just thought I would let everyone know that we had no problems upping
the limit to 16. All we did was:

Make UT_NAMESIZE in <utmp.h> 16.
Make MAXLOGNAME in <sys/param.h> 16.
Add eight more spaces between the "USER" and "TTY" fields at line 228 of
	src/usr.bin/w/w.c (Just for cosmetics).
Also, if you use the adduser script, up the check for length.

Nothing has broken (yet).
