  Thanks Gavin, Kein and Andy.

  I change /usr/include/utmp.h/UT_NAMESIZE to 20 and
/usr/include/sys/param.h/MAXLOGNAME to 21, and I remember
to make the kernel, then I create a user account
"abcdefghijklmnopqrst", the system accept and I can use
finger to check this account.

  But I can't use the following command:
chown abcdefghijklmnopqrst xxx
and I also can't mail to this account, the system echo:
abcdefghijklmnopqrst... User unknown!

  I don't know if I forgot to do any thing else?
