Account name limit

Hi,

How can i change character limit for account name? Sometimes when I create new account I getting message - Username has invalid value and if I type new name from account with less characer there is no error. I need increase this value for account name. Is any solution for this?

Best regards,
Andrzej

What operating system do you use?
You need to recompile you operating system to change character limit for account name.
As I know for FreeBSD files you need to edit are:

Code:

/usr/src/sys/sys/param.h (change MAXLOGNAME to fit your needs) 

/usr/src/include/utmp.h (set UT_NAMESIZE to the value of the above MAXLOGNAME + 1)

Than rebuild world (dont know if kernel recompile is needed).
