 Would it be possible to adjust these to get 32 char usernames? People 
 with very long names in a corporate environment would love to have this.


yes we used 32 char names on the interjet.

What is the disadvantage of using 32 char names as default? (ie, can 
this go into HEAD?)

There's another #define in another header you have to edit.  I'll
think of it in a minute...

Ah; UT_NAMESIZE in include/utmp.h.

edit /usr/src/sys/param.h

cd /usr/src
make includes

now teh sources and the files in /usr/include are in sync
of course you are now incompatible with everyone else ;-)


 I'll need to recompile world/kernel after such a change.  Do I need to
 only modify /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h, or rather do I need to modify
 /usr/include/sys/param.h?  I'm assuming when I make buildworld or make
 buildkernel, the includes in /usr/include aren't used, so the latter
 change will actually be overwritten when I do a make installworld.
 
 Thanks,
 Kevin
