Username with more than 8 Characters

Hey,

i'm using AIX 5.3 which authenticates against a Microsoft Active Directory.
Everything works fine but like everytime there's a problem.

I created users with usernames with more than 8 characters.

Now i tried do login on AIX with these users, which didn't work. The login-window prohibits the entry of more than 8 characters. Trying to login by shell succeeds.
Same behaviour using the ls-command. Only 8 characters are displayed. In my opinion the backround works allright because... (see exmaple)

Example:
users: testuser & testuser2
--> chown testuser2 folder
--> ls -altr shows: drwxrwxrwx testuser ....
Trying to open the folder as testuser collapses.
Trying to open folder as testuser2 succeeds.


Most important is the problem with the login-window. how can i permit typing more than 8 characters??

Thx
