There is no such limit:
[root@fiji ~]# useradd thisisaverylongname
[root@fiji ~]# vdir /home
total 28

Albert,
I tend to agree with you heartily that the limit is somehow to low
and artificial in nature. If as another list member stated it's due to
utilities that are unable to handle larger than 8 character strings it's
the first case of what someone was talking about in a lug last month.

Although the system should not complain if you use more that eight
characters for a username, I recommend against it because many of the
utilities get agitated with more than eight characters. Odd bits of
behavior that may occur include clipping of characters over eight and
failure to recognize a

I actually do need more than 8. You see our logins are often used in
conjunction with e-mail 1st initial and last name... In my case that's

being unreasonable the 8 letter limit does cause some problems. I wish I

you plan on needing per username?
