I did file a ucr.  I encourage every one else to do the same.

What is the feeling of the people reading this group about 8 character
names vs 32 character names?  I have a lot of users that have long
names; they have had long names for quite some time now.  Now I could
use edppo to change all the names and then put entries in the
/usr/lib/aliases file, but I still think 8 character names are stupid.
I would rather rewrite all the *UNIX* talks on our network.

In my origional article about talk I think I was rather clear about
which talk I was talking about.

I also think that in addition to UCRs, it is important to discuss
undocumented (and even documented) "features" of the operating system
here.
