illumos gate

Hi,

OS:
$ head -1 /etc/release
OpenIndiana Development oi_151.1.6 X86 (powered by illumos)

i have create user:
$ /usr/bin/id
uid=1961(predrag_zecevic) gid=1961(admin)

As you may see, useradd command created user (although it was complaining):
$ pfexec useradd -u 1961 predrag_zecevic
UX: useradd: predrag_zecevic name too long.

When i try to create crontab file:
$ crontab -e

1. I have entered here something, not relevant for problem...
   :wq!

$ less /var/cron/log
...

! No such user as predrag_zecevicpredrag_z<F0><FE><80><B2><ED><FE>X<A3>YP,^A - cron entries not created Wed Sep 19 12:53:55 2012

$ ls al /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ | grep predrag_zecevic
-rw------ 1 root admin 1.6K 2012-09-19 12:53 predrag_zecevic
r------- 1 root admin 51 2012-09-19 12:53 predrag_zecevic.au

Also:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/cron.deny
daemon
bin
nuucp

At the end, crontab content is there BUT is not executed !!!

Is it possible to have crontab executed for user with username longer than 8 characters?

Regards.
