What is the limitation in a user name length? Adduser and vipw allow me to enter a user name of 10 chars but it is not recognized by either the chpass command or the login prompt. When I reduce the length to 8 characters, everthing is ok. Is this a limitation? Can it be changed? Robert Burns (procecorjb@vir.com) mtl., ca.
