I've come across the following hack L I edit the following file : /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h : #define MAXLOGNAME 17 /* max login name length (incl. NUL) */ and /usr/src/include/utmph : #define UT_NAMESIZE 16 /* see MAXLOGNAME in */ Then I do a make world. The above values seem to work as far as adding users go but I noticed this little problem : [byrons@localhost byrons]$ top kvm_open: proc size mismatch (40128 total, 1104 chunks) top: Out of memory. Is this the best way to do this? Is there something I've left out? Any pointer or help would be much apprecieated. -byron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
