What is the general consensus on usernames longer than 8 chars? I've been doing some testing on a -stable system with 16 character usernames, and everything seems to work ok. Also, I recently noticed that BSDI 2.1 supports 16 character usernames too (UT_NAMESIZE is 16). This means that BSDI 2.1 bins that access wtmp, utmp, etc will not work under FreeBSD. Tom
