limit on Solaris username lengths?

Hi

this question applies to Solaris 8,9,10 and opensolaris as in my environment it applies to all of these


Is there a limit on the size of the username (in /etc/passwd) or indeed does there come a point where, like the 8 character limitation of passwords, the system receives the input but disregards everything after the 8 characters?

we have accounts in our place called

oracle_testuser
config_management


etc

any help would be greatly appreciated
