Update: Long user names

Managers,

I have some info on this.

Using dxkerneltuner, there is parameter in the generic subsystem: login_name_max

It was previously set at 12. I changed it to 64, but I am still limited by 'useradd' to only 8 characters.

Any help would be appreciated. Even a pointer to an OpenSource useradd program that supports Tru64's enhanced security. I could hack the code to get the extra length.

Thanks

=========== Original

Per stdio.h the 5.0 Tru64 kernal will support long usernames

ie. #define L_cuserid 64

Using enhanced security, how do I take advantage of this.

Currently I am running 5.0a and I have a max of 8 character user ids.

I can upgrade to 5.1, or even 5.1a if it will address this issue, but I prefer not to at the moment.

Thanks
