When authenticating using the default backend, it shouldn't work no, the username is limited by how large it can be in a struct passwd, if you do provide a larger one we will fail auth no matter what. Now, if you auth using another mechanism (ie: listen [...] auth <table>) in theory we do not have the same limitation but I think it will fail as we share some code path and we probably have a check in there. I'll have a look at this. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg
