Is there a limit to the length of the login name in NetBSD?
I don't see any mention in the man pages... but I can't seem
to get anything longer than 8 characters. If I make a user
'catherine', I can't login or e-mail to this account. But if
I make 'catherin', it's fine.

I though 8 character limits were restricted to DOS! ;-)

Am I missing something?
