Hi Looks like FreeBSD one of the few modern OS which have the maximum length of username less than 255. Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc783323.aspx (255) Linux: getconf LOGIN_NAME_MAX = 256 MacOSX: getconf LOGIN_NAME_MAX = 255 FreeBSD: getconf LOGIN_NAME_MAX = 17 Any plan to catch up with other OSes?
