On two different SuSE machines (7.2 and 7.3), I am having a problem with them authenticating only from the first 8 characters of a password.
Example, password is: ilovemyroot
'ilovemyr' and 'ilovemyr00t' will both pass authentication at console, and in any X applications (i.e. kdesu and kcheckpass)
I have md5 enabled, and have verified the md5 entries in /etc/pam.d/passwd, /etc/pam.d/login, and /etc/pam.d/sshd
Any thoughts? Anyone else with the same issues? I don't know much about pam and how it works.
after changeing the pam entrys, did you call passwd again to get a md5 password? if not, the password is still crypted and not md5sum'ed. HTH
