> Is there a maximum character length for user account names?

The maximum length for usernames is imposed mostly by OS/platform limits, for things like PAM, etc.  Outside of that limit, ProFTPD itself does impose a maximum length (mostly to prevent resource consumption attacks by unscrupulous/broken clients); see:

Hope this helps,
TJ
