Is there any way to increase the length of the login field of the 
password file to greater than 8 characters, or is it that pretty much the 
maximum possible? I'd like to be able to squeeze about 10 or even 12 in 
there (i'm assuming there is a good reason why adduser currently limits me 
to 8 chars by default).
