The default disposition of useradd is to warn in this circumstance. It should still support it, however. Here's the relevant snippet from useradd(1M): To change the action of useradd when the traditional login name length limit of eight characters is exceeded, edit the file /etc/default/useradd by removing the # (pound sign) before the appropriate EXCEED_TRAD= entry, and adding it before the others.
