Hi Folks,
Is there any way to get longer than 8char log in names for FreeBSD2.1 ?
Potentially I may want to create a few email addresses that need to be
longer than 8chars. I always thought this may have been a limitation of
UN*X and also FreeBSD1.1.5.1 which I used to run.
Also is there any way to convert the master.passwd file from 1.1.5.1 to 2.1
As the encoding scheme seems to be different.
email or post responses.
Robert
