Maximum User Accoutn Name Characters

Hi,
We have some user accounts which are longer then 8 characters. For auditing & compliance we've to follow the naming convention in our company policies for creating user credentials on servers. Solaris doesn't deny to create user accounts which have more then 8 characters in it's name but it does strips off the extra characters in critical system logs like sulog and others.

How can we increase this configuration so Solaris does manipulate lengthy user accounts properly and don't truncate usernames of more then 8 characters in system logs?

Howdy, Stranger!
