I am starting to get customers wanting login names longer than 8 characters. I edited /usr/include/utmp.h, to accomodate 16 character login names, and I recompiled everything. Now 'chown' is balking at me. Are there any faq's out there to walk me through changing the limit to 16 characters? If so, please send me the URL. TIA.... +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ o Christopher Taylor - Kiwi Computer Services o o VOICE: 909-274-7800 BBS: 909-274-7803 o o *+*+*+* o o Kiwi Internet Services Now Online! o o $12.95/mo FLAT RATE PPP Access!! o o Visit: Http://Www.Kiwi.Net o +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ PGP Fingerprint: 0D 47 98 16 74 DC 3D 7E 1E 6E 6C 2B D9 A5 C7 1B Public Keyring Available Upon Request!
