The ptserver doesn't allow user names to be longer than PR_MAXNAMELEN
minus the length of the local cell name, which I think is the check
that's failing... (CorrectUserName). This additional restriction is so
the user can be used as a foreign user name in another cell, though;
shouldn't we bypass that check for foreign users? We're not ever going
to need to create a
asdfasdfa@student.uni-goettingen.de@informatik.uni-goettingen.de, right?
