We would like to use first initial last name for usernames on FreeBSD. I am use to Solaris which is normally eight and if you have a long password on Solaris it doesn't care what you type after 6 characters.

Solaris pays attention to 8 characters.

By default what is the max username and password limit in characters?

If you are using traditional DES encryption, 8 and 8. If you use the fancy new MD5 hash, "_PASSWORD_LEN (currently 128 characters)".
