I was pulling my (spare) hair out this morning why I could not log into sudo initially while another user on my machine could and I ended up in finding that my password had more than 8 characters. /usr/include/pwd.h defines _PASSWORD_LEN 128 while sudo uses the macro _PASSWD_LEN and sets it to 8 when undefined. The question arises if _PASSWORD_LEN is to be changed or if the sudo port should be fixed to contain _PASSWD_LEN set to 128 under freebsd. I was thinking of supplying a patch-ac but then I thought I'd better put this to discussion. (POSIXers, speak up). --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
