I'm testing https://auth.opensolaris.org/register.action and since we're migrating site content would it be possible to relax the username requirements, please....

1) The moniker I user *everywhere* is 8 characters.. Only allowing 7 seems strange and I can't even imagine where that is derived from.. Can this please be in increased?

It is 8 characters, not 7.

2) I can't say how often it occurs, but would it also be possible to relax the requirement that the username start with a letter.. Maybe allow a number as well?

The OSO usernames are the same format as Solaris usernames, because they are used to generate login accounts for SCM access.

----------
The login (login) and role (role) fields accept a string of no more than eight bytes consisting of characters from the set of alphabetic characters, numeric characters, period (.), underscore (_), and hyphen (-). The first character should be alphabetic and the field should contain at least one lower case alphabetic character.
----------

3) Is the source available to https://auth.opensolaris.org/register.action or is it some Oracle/Sun app which can't be released?
