--- Comment #13 from Jaromír Končický  ---
Hmm, I tried to create user with home directory 4096 characters long and when I
pressed ok, s-c-u crashed with error message:

/usr/share/system-config-users/messageDialog.py:33: GtkWarning: Native Windows
wider or taller than 32767 pixels are not supported
  rc = dlg.run()

so it even could not display such a long name. There can be also more problems
with extremely long path name, like the one in comment #3.
Considering that a "clever user" would never (in normal cases) have a reason to
enter an extremely long path name, is it even worth caring about this? From my
point of view, limiting the length to system maximum is enough we can do.
So I suggest closing it.
