[svlug] SuSE root prob

[Javilk]

     I installed SuSE on one of my systems. 

     It does not accept the account "webmaster", as being one letter too
long.  Webmaster is a popular account name, one that spammers, at least
general spammers, tend to avoid.  (Webmasters get page promotion spam
instead...)

     Since I am subscribed to a bunch of web related mailing lists as
webmaster, and since the other machine has a webmaster ID with a home
directory I expect to NFS mount, etc. etc., this is intolerable!

     What is the way around this problem.  Unsubscribing from the mailing
lists and changing the e-mail address of hundreds of web pages to some
other address is just not a viable solution!
