    Dear David:

    As far as I remember, the maximum UID length for v4.0x was eight.
    You could create a user with a longer uid, but only the first eight
    characters were recogized. For example, user abcdefghij would enter
    only abcdefgh. I believe that the only way around this is to use
    enhanced security which recognizes uids longer than eight.

    Regards,
    Peter Stern
