The most recent releases of FreeBSD appear to support user names of up to
16 characters. However, the documentation and man pages are confusing on
the issue. In some places reference is made to 16 character user names, in
others it is implied or outright stated that the limit is 8
characters. Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Is is safe to use 16 character user names? Do all of the utilities and/or
ports support the longer user names? Are there caveats associated with
using 16 character user names?
Any input will be appreciated.
