To change the size of the fields, you would have to look at every
program that uses <utmp.h>.  Many of them probably use string routines
with a count of "8" instead of using a sizeof().  There may even be a
few programs that assume null termination floating around.  Bill can
exercise a few of the bugs if they exist (8 char login).
