Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I got a problem with long login names (>8 characters) with FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE and applications like Cyrus IMAP4 server (that is: the shadow password daemon 'pwcheck') and also Samba 2.0.2. They report a password error when the login name is longer than 8 characters. I built the Cyrus server from scratch out of the /usr/ports directory but the error remains. I shouldn't forget to say that I recently upgraded the system from FreeBSD-2.2.8 to FreeBSD-3.1. Did I miss something?
