Greetings to all.... Some time ago I posted a question to this list about changing the maximum length of a login name under FreeBSD 2.2.5. I was advised to edit /usr/include/utmp.h and look for UT_NAMESIZE... which I changed to 30, and I also changed MAXLOGNAME in /usr/include/sys/params.h to be 35. The problem is, that the first make world I tried this on didn't work. On the second try, I changed something else, *blush*, but I can't remember what I changed as it was quite some time ago. Now I'm faced with accomplishing the same thing with another machine.... I've tried to reconstruct my events but have had no luck. I've run make world, recompiled the kernel and rebooted many times... to be faced with the same problem each time. Could anyone out there point me in the right direction, or perhaps suggest what I've left out/doing wrong?
