[-- Attachment #1 --] In BSDi you can use commands minpasslen=# and maxpasslen=# in the /etc/login.conf I am not sure if it is identical in FreeBSD but I imagine it would be. -----Original Message----- From: Zombie [mailto:zombie@isni.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 5:33 PM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Password lengths. I am relatively new to encryption with passwords and I am in the process of switching from a BSDi 4.1 machine to a FreeBSD 4.2 stable. I want to transfer the password list over but I need compatibility for +8 character passwords. Do you have any ideas. As far as I know, The BSDi machine is running with DES encryption and I dread the thought of reentering, by hand, all 2k user names and passwords.
