Hi, I do not know what version of SuSE you use. But since 9.2 I have systems running with blowfish encryption and the root passwd on my systems is always 25 chars. And I had no problem so far. Regards, Pedro --- Miguel ALBUQUERQUE <miguel.albuquerque@codalis.ch> wrote:
Why can't one increase the password length ? I've changed the password length to 15 and encryption method from DES to MD5 due to DES length limitations but when I create an user the password is truncated is still truncadet to 8 chars !
What am i missing here ?
