zmaccts truncates long account names (2021196)

The zmaccts command (located at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmaccts) truncates long account names in its output.

The default maximum account name length in zmaccts output is 36 characters.

To resolve this issue, modify the zmaccts script:

Note: Root access is required to modify this file.

Back up the existing script by running the command:

cp /opt/zimbra/bin/zmaccts /opt/zimbra/bin/zmaccts2
Open the /opt/zimbra/bin/zmaccts2 script in a text editor, and locate this line:

format DOMAIN = @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>>>>>>> @>>>>>>>
Change the line to:

format DOMAIN = @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>> @>>>>>>>>>>>> @>>>>>>>

This doubles the number of characters displayed for the account name.
