>Description:
A valid user with an 11-character name could not log in with FTP.
I suspect that the problem would be true for names over 8 characters.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Give the person a shorter name. This worked for me, which indicates it
wasn't a problem with the directory permissions or anything like that.
