length of the login id

[Rayappa Mayakunthala <mrayappa@Wilco-int.com>]

Folks

Our local office has recently been taken over by a new company. This new
company uses 3-char login id for both NT and Unix and our office had been
using 8-char login id for both NT and Unix. Now the question is whether we
should migrate to 3-char or not. Though it is lot of work and it is going to
break various things, this would be forced upon us by the management at some
point. This new company is 800+ employee strong and our office 300+ employee
strong and that is making me think towards 3-char as it is easy to change
few users than lot of users.

Any thoughts?

Thanks very much.

	Rayappa.
