Perhaps whoever wrote the adduser 8 char limit knew there are or at least were also passwd 8 char limits in FreeBSD, (as to version I can't tell you, but I did hit such a limit a few months back, on a machine kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de knows of) so before you read & change the source to adduser, go & do some direct tests with passwd etc. > What do I need to do to incorporate names > larger than 8 characters. > > Do I need to do anything in the sendmail? > > Please help. > > Thanks > Tushar > Julian -- Julian H.
