Pegasus signon problem with long user name. (Resolved)

I have Mercury installed on a server and PMail on about 20 computers.  Everything is working as expected except I have 2 user names longer than 8 characters long and I cannot log into there accounts.  I get "The user you are attempting to 'become' (USERNAME) does not exist on this system."  When I shorten the username to be 8 or less everything work.  I have the Local Mailbox directory path ending with ~N.  I have tried changing it to ~8 but receive the same error.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

I Resolved this with pconfig and running pconfig.exe.  I selected the "Standalone" menu and changed the ~8 to ~N and everything works.
