- We have a machine here whose uname returns
- HP-UX wombaj B.08.00 A 9000/42T 080009217b61
-
- By default it installed with 14 char file name limits. It tells us we
- can easily convert to long file names afterwards. Then the sys admin tool
- warns us that this may break some programs!
-
- What may break? I thought it may be some old programs that don't use the
- opendir() library routines but that try to read the directory directly.
-
- Is there any other thing that might go wrong?
-
- Would any of the HP software break? Surely not.
-
- Thanks
