The following reply was made to PR i386/52392; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Chris Lewis <chris@digitalwaffle.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, chris@digitalwaffle.net Cc: Subject: Re: i386/52392: Password lengths over 8 chracters are ignored Date: Sun, 18 May 2003 11:44:29 +0100 Sorry guys, It would appear the problem is not with the FreeBSD core, but instead with /usr/bin/adduser, which I used to set my test user's password initially, the problem did not apply to passwords changed later (as they should be) with "passwd". The issue is, therefore, with adduser - but I don't know how relevant it is considering users should change their passwords anyway after being added. :) Regards, -- Chris Lewis [boff] Encryption is mathematical warfare. Mathematics is the universal language. Encryption is secrecy. Secrecy is a declaration of war.
