Re: Long usernames in auth_user?

OK;

thanks I was afraid it was not entirely straightforward.

Now - of course the problem can easily crop up again by just
increasing length; but if the username length and the email length at
least default to the same value (the email field has length 75) the
failure will at least be simultaneous - and the usage pattern I
describe will work until the 75 characters e-mail limit is reached. So
although by no means a full solution, increasing the username length
to 75 would in my opinion be a very simple fix with some benefit?
