many thanks to all who replied to my question about long usernames.


Resolution:
the utility 'sysman' has a security subsystem which allows you to turn
on Enhanced security and then you can change the limitations on username
char-limit.










****************************************
Managers,

does true64 have problem with user names longer than 8 characters? the
8 or less character can login with no problem. any name longer than 8
cannot login and receives the following error:


> ssh -l greghlongusername bl821k1
greghlongusername_at_bl821k1's password:
setlogin: Invalid argument
Connection to bl821k1 closed by remote host.
Connection to bl821k1 closed.


is there a setting that I can change to allow long user names?
any help appreciated.
