Username length limitation on SSH

from [Adam Cormany] Network Security [Permanent Link]
Subject: Username length limitation on SSH
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:10:44 -0700 (PDT) 
I am trying to set up a Red Hat ES 2.1 box to allow me to SSH in without a 
password. I am running the following versions of RPMs:

openssh-askpass-3.1p1-17
openssh-3.1p1-17
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-17
openssh-clients-3.1p1-17
openssh-server-3.1p1-17


I've created my public and private keys via ssh-keygen and everything works 
great except for one thing. I'm able to SSH from my local client to the my 
remote server with no password now successfully, however it only works if my 
username is 3 or more characters long.

Is there a way to adjust this so a username of with the length of 2 characters 
(i.e. ab) can SSH without being prompted for a password?

Thanks,
Adam
