Hi, The NFSv4 RFCs do not specify an upper limit for the length of a user or group (called Owner/Owner_group in NFSv4) string. However, PR#260546 notes that a sanity upper limit for their length is needed. Is there any constant in FreeBSD that defines the upper limit for the length of a user or group name? (I can find the maximum length of a hostname and I think that can be used as a safe upper limit for a domain name, as well. The Owner/ Owner_group names include "@domain" on them.) Thanks for any help with this, rick
