--- Comment #5 from Mr BEEDELL Roke Julian Lockhart <[email protected]> --- Nate, I didn't know that that feature exists, for the same reason, so you're definitely correct. However, rather than this being an enhancement, I believe that this should remain a bug report, as, whilst the default behaviour — of having the username form part of the SSID — remains, it should be automatically truncated to a valid length, [^3] at the least. Though, Jakob's suggestion would resolve this. I completely agree that this should be created and configured within the relevant KCM. --- Nate, apologies for the delay in response; I was up a mountain. To answer your question about why I utilise such a username (my current one is `beedell.roke_julian_lockhart`, it is partially to discover problems like this, before others have to reckon with them, but more so because: - It's an easy system to understand, so it's difficult to forget, when at a TTY login page; - It keeps anyone, who I create a username for, happy, because I do not modify their name; and: - It is extensible, in case two people have the same name, because I am able to append a base36 version of the current UNIX Epoch to it, like `surname.forename.B36` (`beedell.roke_julian_lockhart.tniqpi`). I would much prefer to utilise a national identification number as my username. However, alas, this does not exist for my nation. [^1] [^2] Additionally, anyone who doesn't utilise a key-pair for SSH shall have a miserable time, regardless. I solely ever have to utilise SSH for https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap, and I am able to pre-load the keys via it.
