To me it seems, 8 characters are allowed by the MAC-Client, not 6...

No it is not.... Usernames and passwords are restricted to 8 characters
by appletalk..

If you are using PAM, you could take a look at
/etc/pamd.d/netatalk. There is the point you could
redirect the user&password Database to a LDAP-Server.
But at first you should build the ldap-database ;-)
That would mean, you would have to administrate 2 Databases:
/etc/passwd and LDAP because users "gmeyer" has an account
in passwd and ldap.
Good Luck.
