Description Cory Petkovsek 2004-08-31 21:47:15 UTC

Usernames are limited to 32 characters.  This should be greatly expanded for virtual hosts.  I used 127.  Debian has 127 or 128.  The define is in ftpd.h

Reproducible: Always

Any ideas on why the short limit ?
This is a patch on the patch system fore pureftpd for more than a year with no comments, so i am adding this to our version.
