ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(PASE_USRGRP_LIMITED) VALUE(N) LEVEL(*SYS)

Unless you know you're running poorly written software for AIX where this might matter, I would say always set this variable.

(99.999% of people are running all cross-platform software for Linux, et al in PASE... almost nobody is running AIX-specific software.  And even if you did, and it caused problems with >8 character userids, it'd mean that the software isn't very well written that it doesn't do basic bounds checking.  Almost nobody needs this 8 character limitation, but this isn't set by default!!  Drives me nuts.)

Good catch. I remember there was a discussion some time about this limitation which has been brought over from AIX into PASE. If I'm not completely wrong, there was an environment variable to change that behavior?
