Hello, are there any best practices for the length of user names? I tend to limit them to 8 characters and to follow the pattern 'first letter of the first name'+'first 7 letters of the last name' (e.g. mbaudier). But people are sometimes frustrated with having their last name truncated and I wonder if limiting the user name to 8 characters is not a kind of superstition coming from some old times... I would be very interested to hear opinions / experience about this. (I'm using CentOS 5.5) Thanks in advance! Mathieu
