Me too. We have many users that have names > 8. None of them login at a console bit I have a test account with an 11 character user name. I even tried it with dtlogin, and it works. Are you sure that is a restriction? Is it just an out-dated man page? Is this a restriction of the local /etc/passwrd file? The 11 char test account was in NIS, and is now in LDAP. -- Douglas E.
