Neporada" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: MD5 and DES passwords maximum lenght Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! Ocassional installation of DES distribution (through Configure->Distributions->DES in /stand/sysinstall) seems to limit my passowrds to eight symbols. Is it right? It seems to me that there is no such limit in default encrypting scheme (MD5). What should I do to restore MD5 encryption? (I suppose that 8 symbols is quite enough, but my pass is longer ;-) Thanks in advance for any input and sorry for my English! -- Andrew. Don't thank me for insulting you. It was my pleasure.
