Re: [SLUG] Minimum username length?

["Jamie Wilkinson" <jaq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought useradd(8) would enlighten me, I thought I remembered this being
defined in either /etc/login.defs or /etc/security/limits.conf, but it's in
neither.  I honestly don't think there's a minimum username length limit.
Feel free to be d@ ;)
