I have an urgent need to have username greater than 8 characters. Any advice please. I am using FreeBSd 2.2.6, but am close to upgrading to 4.1.1 stable. 2. With the upgrade I installed 4.0 from the Cd's then ran CVSUP for the 4.1.1 upgrade and all ports. I am unable to follow what to do nest, the base directory is /usr, however there is no files in /usr/src. Any help greatly appreciated Arthur ------=_NextPart_000_000E_01C049C7.3067C340 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4207.2601" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=3D200255502-09112000><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff = size=3D2>Changing default username length causes problems.
