Hi, i 've tried today to create a user with 18 letters and i discovered that the adduser command doesn't allow user names greater than 16 letters. I read at the man pages that you need to "edit the file /usr/include/utmp.h and then recompile the world" if you want bigger names. Because i have a lot of stuff in my computer and don't want to re-install all of them, isn't there an easier way to do this? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
