Service user and group names are stored in 16-byte buffers, limiting them to 15 characters. This silently truncates longer names before getpwnam() and getgrnam(), preventing services configured with valid longer account names from starting. Increase the buffers to match the existing maximum configuration argument length. Signed-off-by: Anees Rehman <anees.rehman@atlascopco.com>
Finit is a fast, simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, designed for small and embedded Linux systems. It can also run on desktop and server systems, like finix.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.
For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
