default display width for long user and group names, and displays the current status of the system.
If no options are specified, the
-l option is assumed.
Options
The following options are supported:
-e Enable long user and group name support on the system. See the Enabling Long User and
Group Names subsection below for details. This option requires superuser privileges.
-d num Set num as the default display width for long user and group names. num can be in the
range
0 to 31.
The -d option can be only be specified with the -e option or when long names have been
previously enabled.
See the Setting the User and Group Name Display Width subsection below for details. This
option requires superuser privileges.
-l Display the current status of the system. The command displays one of:
8 The system is restricted to short (8-byte) user and group names.
31 The system is enabled for long (31-byte) user and group name support. A name string
can be up to 31 bytes plus a trailing NULL byte.
Enabling Long User and Group Names
To enable long user and group names,
1. Stop the pwgrd daemon.
# /sbin/init.d/pwgr stop
2. Run the lugadmin command with the -e option.
# lugadmin -e [-d num]
3. The command requests confirmation before enabling the system.
Long user/group name once enabled cannot be disabled in future.
Do you want to continue [yY]:
If you respond with y or Y, the command proceeds; otherwise, it aborts.
4. The command creates the /etc/default/lugname
file.
5. If the
-d option is not specified, num defaults to 0. The specified or default value of num is writ-
ten in lugname.
Setting the User and Group Name Display Width
The long user and group name default display width is set when lugadmin is executed with the -e
option. It can be changed at any time by executing lugadmin with the -d option.
If -d is not specified with the -e option, the value of num defaults to 0.
The current display width is used by all system and conforming applications to display formatted output, as
follows:
0 Display user and group names as you would for a short name system. If the name is
longer than the command’s default width, replace the last printable character of the
name with a plus sign (+).
1 to 31 If the name is longer (in bytes) than the current display width, replace the last print-
able character of the name with a plus sign (+).
