In FBSD 4.0, I've set the minpasswordlen=10:\ in my login.conf and run the cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf. I execute the passwd command while being logged in as myself. If I type in a new password that is shorter than the minpasswordlen, it warns me that my new password is too short. So, I enter a password of the correct length and confirm that password. However, when I log out and log back on, I can enter the first 8 characters of my password and it accepts it as being valid. Is there something I am missing here. I simply want to be able to set password lengths greater than 8 characters.
