Hi, On one of my new systems running FreeBSD 3.3 (19991002-STABLE) I noticed that as soon as I added users to the system which long names (>8 chars), top widened the USERNAME field to 16 characters and shrunk the COMMAND field to 4 characters. Additionally, the header columns are longer than 80 characters and so therefore start wrapping and ruining the whole display. I'm running this on an SMP system, so there's also an extra C column which takes up more space. I don't know if the same screen space problem would occur without the SMP. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to limit the USERNAME colunm to 8 characters (even if there are longer usernames in the password file) while keeping the COMMAND column with it's full length (at least 10 chars). Currently with a 4 character limit on the COMMAND column, top is pretty useless.
