Is long login name in HP_UX 11.0 valid?

Recently I added a new login name which was longer than 8 chars to passwd file. But I could not log in with that name, neither change the password of the name. Why? I remeber HP_UX 10.x could recognize the long login name.

Is your login name unique to its first 8 characters ? It needs to be. HP-UX still doesnt support login names > 8 characters, this will cause all sorts of problems with various programs. Its recommended to keep them <=8 characters.
Im from Palmerston North, New Zealand, but somehow ended up in London...
