I just installed a 3.3R System and it looks like the length of the password field for one of my users is shorter than on my old 3.2R system. On the 3.2 system I did not install the DES distribution while on the 3.3 system I did. If I am using a different method than my 3.2 system, which one is more secure? - Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
