 Hi,
 
 getfacl(1) uses acl_to_text(3) which truncates user names and group
 names to UT_NAMESIZE characters. UT_NAMESIZE is defined in
 /usr/include/utmp.h and it's default value is 16.
 
 Comment in src/lib/libc/posix1e/acl_support.c says:
 
  * Given a uid/gid, return a username/groupname for the text form of an ACL.
  * Note that we truncate user and group names, rather than error out, as
  * this is consistent with other tools manipulating user and group names.
