Hello Rob,

Ok, the devils advocate in me is wondering why there is such an environment variable. Like, why would you want to limit it to 8 characters? Why didn't they just change it wide open? Does using a larger user id blow some buffers or some such thing to older devices, etc?

This topic has been discussed a while ago already. Maybe you want to review the list archive? Main contributor way you, if I remember correctly.

:wq! PoC
