Username
The username is the first part of each user entry. Usernames consist of
up to 63 non-whitespace printable ASCII characters. If SecurID or a
System password file is used for authentication, the username must
conform to the UNIX username limitation, typically 8 characters or less.
This is probably why 8 characters is mentioned (if you are using the local
systems "password" file to authenticate you must follow its policy on
usernames, which makes sense). As for the Windows NT RADIUS, I am not a
100% sure of a limitation in the server itself, other then that it most
likely is limited by whatever limit the OS places on usernames.
