You might want to consider limiting usernames to 8 characters. That way if you list directory contents from the shell using "ls" there's no confusion about who owns the files since "ls" only shows the first 8 characters of an owner's name. I generally use the following scheme for naming users: d0030002 (char 1 = server identifier, char 2-4 = site number, char 5-8 = user number) It also makes it pretty difficult for someone to guess someone's username. > Also 'Postmaster' is set up as an account at the first setup of your server. > > There seems to be a list of those exclusive accounts on the Sun site.

The users at the top of the file are those that were created on a virgin RaQ and are not available for use as regular users.
