Hi,

I'm using AIX version 5.3 currently. I'm trying to create a user id, e.g. andyleong, which the system prompted the length is too long.

1. I would like to know is that the length of user id is restricted to maximum 8 characters for AIX.
2. Is it apply to all versions of AIX?

If no limitation, would greatly appreciate if you could tell me the configuration file that need to be changed.
Thanks.

Regards,
Mei Hua

Well, this is a Mac forum and since Dec/Compaq AlphaStations are quite rare. The last time I used one was something like two, three years ago. I would suggest freebsdforums, those guys are more unix savvy.

As an FYI, you're probably better off trolling AIX mailing lists for information like this. If you're wondering where you can find archives:

Best of luck.
