[Samba] Increase machine name length in /etc/passwd

when a new machine connects and the person logs them into the domain using the proper administrator account add user script runs.
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c Machine -s /bin/false -M %u

The problem is I notice in /etc/passwd the machine name is only using 7 characters.  Is there a way to increase this so it uses them all?

Samba 2.2.8a
Red Hat Linux 8.0
