Unix, and Linux, only look at the first eight characters of your password. So if your password is 12345678 or 12345678910112, for Linux it's the same.
BTW: Pam offers MD5 encryption for passwords I read somewhere. This should make passwords longer than 8 chars useable. Is anybody useing MD5 for passwords? oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
