Let's put these instructions in the handbook, FAQ, O.K.?  It would be
nice to know it was there if I need it in the future...

Also, are there any side effects if I change this on a running system?
Would I need to flush 'wtmp', etc?  I have a system with about 100
e-mail (pop) clients - what would I need to do to make passwords
longer on a live system?
