I am running FreeBSD 5.4

Is there a way to change the eight character login length to allow more
characters?

The reason is I would like to do first initial last name for the login.
However some last names are longer than eight characters.  It would also
work well for email addresses on the server.

Thanks

I thought it was 16 characters:

sat64# cat /etc/passwd | grep 123
1234567890123456:*:1005:1005:123:/home/1234567890123456:/bin/sh

email using
uw-imap
uw-pop
