ike the (length of the) names Debian maintainers have chosen. This is
not going to work the way you want. Those user names are hard-coded
in many places, from the *.postinst scripts that (re)create the users,
to the systemd unit files that launch services as those users, etc.

Easier in the sense of less typing? You can repeat the -L and -R options as
many times as needed in a single SSH command (and can easily stor

It should be possible to do it with NFSv4, but I need to install

Is there an easy way to translate the user names of the two machines with NFS?

Hi,
i'm using the latest adduser package from bo-updates and i found that
it does not accept user names containing 8 bits chars. I'm talking
about a user's full name (first name + family name), not short name
(login name or home directory name). I don't know if such name

but the users would still have to setup their clients with a pop mailbox
name of "MyFirstN".
How can I do this? Do I have to recompile login to allow for longer user
names? Is that a "bad thing"? Is there another pop mail package that has an
alternate authentication proce
I have been able to do it with the --force-badname in the adduser command.
