Hi, previously I could use the following in my passwd-file:-
AB:{plain}password
I'm not sure when it stopped working, its not an account I access with
any regularity, but today it would not work (2.1.0, 64-bit Arch
Linux), with an 'unknown user' error in the logs. Is there some new
lower limit for username length?

Is there some new > lower limit for username length?Oh, I think it's because AB is uppercased. Either lowercase it "ab" or set this to empty: auth_username_format = I hadn't thought of this being a problem before.. Hm. Perhaps it's not a common problem, so I'll just change the Upgrading text to mention this possibility also..
