On BSDi 2.1 also doesn't matter, password limits of 8 or 128, tested on both. Jason, is probably right that you used a password exceeding 8 characters in length. Meaning asdfasdf is the same as asdfasdf1 or asdfasdfx or asdfasdfbuggaboo. It just truncates it after the first 8 characters... guess that's why it's 8 significant characters. ;) Now a real fun one is using a username of ONLY numerics. Try adding a user '1234' then see how that affects quotas on that user... > After the default setting of 8 chars, nothing matters, BSDI does support > 'widepasswords' of 128 chars though that you must enable in > /etc/login.conf.
