Anyway past the 8 character limit for usernames?

Just moved over a 5000 user passwd file from a linux machine. Everything
seems to be working ok except that when a user with more than 8
characters in his/her username tries to telnet or ftp, it will not let
them in saying that the login is incorrect. This looks like it has to do
with cuserid, but I am not really sure past that. Is there a patch or a
way to fix this other than changing there username? TIA.
