- Can user login names exceed 8 characters in IRIX 4? I successfully
- created an account with a login name of 9 letters. When I do an ls -l
- on that acct, I see:
-
- file xxxxxxxxxyyyyy etc etc...
-
- where xxxxxxxxx is the login name and yyyyy is the group. There is
- no space between the x's and y's. Besides this problem, are there
- any others I have to worry about?
