Recalling our last discussion re: long user names I assumed that it isn't that great to have users with names longer than 8 chars. Re: login.defs. Yes, I'm aware of this file but with my workaround this file isn't tampered and further rpm -Uvh will happily upgrade it (not leaving an .rpmsave copy). All in all, we need that 'webalizer' user temporarily. Pointing out in my message to the possibility to set USERNAME_MAX could seduce users to set this limit high (Plesk allows very long names for client account) -- so there might be more problems. Anyway, thanks for pointing this out. -- (GM) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail owl-users-unsubscribe@private and reply to the automated confirmation request that will be sent to you.
