Re: Short name longer than 8 characters?



I believe I read somewhere that Mac OS X 10.2 (aka Jaguar) will support user names longer than 8 characters.

That's the way I do it. Our staff don't (for the most part) know that they
even have a "short" name. They log in using the same long name as their
e-mail username. We use Mac Manager, so the fact that their home directory
name doesn't match their login isn't an issue--besides that, their short
name is close enough to their long name that it hasn't caused any confusion.
