Hello all,

Im running 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT =
2000 and would like to know whats the max login name length for FreeBSD =
right now. I have found this so far:

/usr/src/sys/sys/param.h
#define MAXLOGNAME      17              /* max login name length (incl. =
NUL) */

I would like to know how to increase the max login name length ( dont =
think I can just change this value without breaking stuff ). Im also =
upgrading to -stable pretty soon, so lemme know if -stable support =
MAXLOGNAME > 17 plz

Thanks,

Jo=E3o Assad
