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???
