HPUX 11.31 Local username length restriction
Does anybody know if there is a workaround for the limitation on the local username length? It can be no longer than 8 characters long. We have a desire to have this longer.

Re: HPUX 11.31 Local username length restriction
There should be a command on 11.31 systems called 'lugadmin'. This command allows you to enable, disable, or check the status of long user names.
For example:
# lugadmin
64
This shows that long usernames are disabled. If the command returned 256 then that would indicate that long usernames are enabled.
To enable long usernames do 'lugadmin -e'. However, there are some caveats to this. Read through the 'lugadmin' man page before enabling long usernames.
