I agree that this is a generic change, not a FreeBSD specific issue. We are *not* the only system to go to longer than 8 character usernames (I think BSDI beat us by a fair number of months) and I'm sure that making top deal with flexible name lengths would be of more than general interest. Unfortunately, I don't know that anyone has taken any specific responsibility for top in FreeBSD. If someone has, that person should probably step forward at this point. ;-) Jordan
