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. thanks, michael
