There are several files that will need to be patched, and then a complete
make world, and kernel re-build.

I have done this on several 2.2-STABLE systems.  You'll need to patch
adduser.perl, rmuser.perl, param.h, stdio.h, and utmp.h.

In order to keep the src patched for long usernames when upgrading via
cvsup, I created a Makefile and patches that will change the above files.
