You are in "/home/guest" instead.
 

Testing

There is a limitation on the length or the username in AIX 5.2 and earlier and does not support increasing the maximum user name length.

Rename the user in AD to a name of eight characters or less.

To increase the max username length on AIX 5.3 and higher, use the following syntax:

# chdev - l sys0 -a max_logname=MaxUserNameLength+1

Example:

# chdev - l sys0 -a max_logname=255

This command allocates 254 characters for the user and 1 for the terminating null.

The safest value that you can set max_logname to is 255.

You must reboot for the changes to take effect:

# shutdown - Fr

Note: This applies to both user and group names as they both refer to the same configuration option for their maximum length.
Note: Applying AIX Maintenance patches may reset these changes.
