Username limitation

We are on Compaq Tru64 UNIX 4.0E and we are experiencing an 8 character
limitation when trying to create a UNIX account. This creates a problem for
us when we try to use Samba to map to a Netware server. Samba tries to
authenticate the UNIX login name with the Netware login name (which does not
have the 8 character limitation) and it fails. Does anyone know any
information about this limitation and/or how to work around it?

Thanks.
