https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D277963 --- Comment #1 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> --- sorry for late reply. The main issue to switch MAXLOGNAME to 65 would be utmpx because it hard co= des 32 which means the name will truncate the name. If nothing has changed since I grew it to 33, the upgrade to 65 would be sa= fe as all consumers of MAXLOGNAME (in base at least) are properly checking boundaries when manipulating strings, so worst case scenario is truncation,= but no overflow. So the right approach is imho to first upgrade utmpx (if this is possible at all) and only after that upgrade MAXLOGNAME. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
