From: Steve Warwick To: Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi All, I am trying to add a user name with the pw command and get the "name too long" error after 15 or 16 characters. However, I also use Webmin which has allowed me to use much longer user names. Is there a switch or setting I am missing? Example: pw adduser longdomain-henry2 -w random -d "/home/longdomain/henry2" -g nogroup -s "/sbin/nologin" -c "henry two" -h 0 Suggestions? Remember, Webmin can do longer names for some reason...
