[Preston] unlimiting 32 character username limit

[John Craven]

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my proble.
I realised that I didn't need a username to be more than 32 characters.
What I did was to setup a username of less than 32 characters and then use the virtualusertable to map a much longer email address to the shorter username.

Thanks,

John C
