Zitat der Linux Admin FAQ:

6.17 What is the maximum username length, and is there way to extend it?

No. Username length It's not configurable. Under libc-5, the utmp and
wtmp files only allow 8 characters for a username. Under libc-6, this
is increased to 32 characters.

You can use usernames longer than this limit. However, the utmp/wtmp
entries will be truncated, and so won't correspond to a valid username.
This doesn't matter for most things.

Schöne Grüße!
Tobias
