No, this does not prevent your password from truncting after 8 characters. The normal crypt() can only handle 8 characters. Read /usr/share/doc/packages/pam/README.md5 But I would not use it.

This is a non-trivial task since it requires fiddling with the hardware itself. I don't have any practical experience with it, though...

Hello, I strongly suggest you have a look at www.handhelds.org and join one or more of the mailing lists. I can also tell yu that you're better off using an iPaq then a Palm, but you can get smaller, cheaper versions of the Palm, and there is only eXpensive and vEery eXpensive versions of the iPaq :-) ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com
