I don't check "Use this password for system administrator". Then I click next, and enter the root password. Again, I use a password longer than 8 characters. When clicking next, I get the following message; "The password is too long for the current encryption method. Truncate it to 8 characters?" Yes/No If I select No, I will have to enter a new password which is <= 8 characters. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
