Request for the next snapshot:

Please edit include/utmp.h to change UT_NAMESIZE from 8 to 10.  Since
MAXLOGNAME in sys/param.h is 12 this will not require any kernel changes.

I've been testing this here for awhile.

This change allows some migration capability to FreeBSD from systems with
slightly longer user names.
