	.\" $Id: adduser.8,v 1.12.2.5 1997/10/14 17:34:01 wosch Exp $

>Description:

	In RESTRICTIONS section, it is described that maximum length
	of username is 8 characters.  But in EXAMPLES of adduser.8,
	usernames `baerenklau' and `vehlefanz' which exceeds 8
	characters are used.

	Execution of the example:
	  $ adduser -uid 5000 -group guest -message no -batch vehlefanz
	causes `illegal user name' error:
	  /etc/adduser.conf: No such file or directory
	  Added user ``vehlefanz''
	  chown: vehlefanz: illegal user name

>How-To-Repeat:

	man adduser

>Fix:
	
	Cut username in EXAMPLES section to 8 characters:
