Re: [cobalt-developers] RAQ4 username 12 characters, Any solution

["O-S Inc. Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The OS(Linux/Unix) and most if not all programs, can more than likely 
accept more than 12 characters, its just the Cobalt DB that is more than 
likely set at a fixed twelve characters.  I have not looked at the meta 
data for the cobalt PostgreSQL db but I would imagine that to be the case.
