If you want to use longer passwords,you must not use the seperate securedist (US version) but only the builtin scheme which use MD5. Beware that when using the MD5 version, you're not compatible any more with the rest of the world... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD keltia 2.1.0-Development #1: Mon Mar 6 23:55:18 MET 1995
