Description
MySQL appears to bound the maximum size of a username to 16 characters; any longer and it rejects the name. We should warn users who attempt to sign up lockers that have this long name and figure out an alternate strategy for accomodating them.

See #262 “Mangle locker names that are invalid hostnames and MySQL usernames” for what I think is a cleaner solution.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Hopefully this is something that's not too hard to test out of deploydev.
