I am starting to get customers wanting login names longer than 8 
characters. I edited /usr/include/utmp.h, to accomodate 16 character 
login names, and I recompiled everything. Now 'chown' is balking at me.
Are there any faq's out there to walk me through changing the limit to 16 
characters? If so, please send me the URL. TIA....
