Hi all,

        I've just installed LDAP Server with openSUSE10.3. All users are able
to login from a specific openSUSE 10.3 machine. Here are the questions:

        - How can I make LDAP use more than 8 characters in the password ? No
matter what scheme I use ( crypt, ssha, etc... ), YaST always complains
that it will only support 8 characters and will truncate the password to
those 8 characters.

        - How can I change the LDAP password of a specific users without using
YaST ? When I type passwd and fill out everything, I get this error (
even with root user ):
                Enter login(LDAP) password:
                New Password:
                Reenter New Password:
                LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access
                Must supply old password to be changed as well as new one
                passwd: Permission denied

        - Does the above command, passwd, allows regular users to change their
passwords ?

Thanks for your help,
