Hallo,
I want to ask which is the maximum length of a userid on Fedora Linux.
I think the maximum length of a userid should be 16 but I want to get
a confiration about this assumetion.
$ sudo useradd a23456789012345678901234567890
$ ls /home/a23456789012345678901234567890/
ls: cannot open directory /home/a23456789012345678901234567890/: Permission
denied
I think there isn't a 16 char limit ;).
