Not completely correct. ONLY from Macs via AFP can you use the long name. Everything else uses the short name. (though I will admit I have not tried FTP with the long name but I have assumed it would not work).

Yes, but some users don't want to be ager1234. I think in this day and age we can manage to give someone their full name.

That's what the long names are for. You can use either short name or
long name when you're logging in and a user never even has to know their
short name. What are you complaining about ?
