Username and Groupname Sizes on HP-UX

Overview HP-UX 11i Version 3 provides expanded username and groupname interfaces. This capability allows setting of user and group names that are longer than the previously supported value. HP provides this enhancement to support the user/group naming requirements of some customers. The default operating system configuration settings ensure compatibility for applications using user and group names by enforcing compatible name sizes. However, if the administrator configures the system for expanded user and group names, code changes may be necessary to accommodate expanded names. This paper is intended for both the system administrators and program developers. It describes how an administrator can enable the capability.
