Hello,

Can somebody please explain how to increase the user login name length
limit. I would expect this to be some systemwide setting or at
worst a definition in a header file.
But I can't find anything except UT_NAMESIZE (8) in utmp.h.
Increasing that and recompiling libc doesn't help a lot.

Is it possible at all to increase this beyond 8 and if so, how?

Thanks, Jos
