Tested that on several machines (DES as well as non-DES), 2.2.6, 3.1 and current, and none of them shows this behaviour Only when when the normal username is exactly 8 characters long (or 16 on 3.x and current), it ignores *any* excess characters... eg on current, I have a user called testtesttesttest (16 characters), and I can login as 'testtesttesttest' or as user 'testtesttesttest.' or as user 'testtesttesttestXXXXXXXXXX'. At least OpenBSD 2.3 and AIX4 do this, too. RH Linux 5.2 and SunOS 5.6 don't (or they have much larger username limits, I don't know).
