Dear all,
is there any restriction in size for the usernames of passwd?
man getpwent
provides the passwd structure
struct passwd {
char *pw_name; /* user name */
char *pw_passwd; /* user password */
uid_t pw_uid; /* user id */
gid_t pw_gid; /* group id */
char *pw_gecos; /* real name */
char *pw_dir; /* home directory */
char *pw_shell; /* shell program */
};
thus, I cannot see any real limit of the size of username (pw_name).
Is this true? Once I heared it was restricted to 8 characters...
OT: does anybody kknow if this holds for Solaris 6,7,8 and above too?
Thanks in advance!
wbr,
Lukas
