I have an Suse Linux (5.2 with some patches and kernel updates). I want to have users names longer than 8 characters, but the useradd program does not allow longer names. As I saw in the useradd source files, the program takes the max length of hte user-name from a utmp.h header file, which indeed has a 8 character restriction. How can I increase the length of the user name?? Do I need to recompile the useradd sources with a changed utmp.h file??? And what for is this utmp.h???? Any help???
