+Submitted By: Tushar Teredesai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+Date: 2005-11-04
+Initial Package Version: 4.0.11.1
+Origin: Tushar Teredesai
+Upstream Status: Not sent.
+Description: Improves on the naming conventions for usernames and groupnames.
+ * Allows usernames to contain Uppercase letters
+ * Increases the groupname length to 32 (same as the username)
+I created these primarily for the pkg_user hint which benefits from this
+relaxed (but not non-standard) naming conventions.
