Description mkfong8808 2024-03-26 00:44:18 UTC 
With several different situations such as different server's geo locations, different network structure, different level of login-usage, the complexity of username had been increased these days.

There are many cases where users (customers) want to create login name > 32 characters.

Can we have the MAXLOGNAME increased from 33 to 65?
