It is needed to be compatible with POSIX, and we do want Debian Edu to
be compatible with POSIX.

The limit in the number of characters in a user name is given by
_POSIX_LOGIN_NAME_MAX in POSIX.  See
<URL:http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/limits.h.html>
for the current value.  I am pretty sure file group have the same
limitation, but was unable to find it when I had a brief look for it.
