If not, any program that displays those account names
should do so without truncating the account name,
especially a program whose entire purpose is to
display the logged in accounts (who).

Putting aside the case where the first 8 characters
match, currently the admin or user is left to guess
what the account name is and I can't imagine that was
by design.     

If the maximum defined width of of the user name from
utmp were used (UT_NAMESIZE) in print_line() there
wouldn't be a problem.  Seems a shame to have the
information at hand, not use it, then end up
displaying incorrect output.
