Gentleman; I submitted what I thought was a minor issue on Redhat's handling of passwords. Is it me? Is it something I missed? Any password you assign over 8 characters gets cut... At first I thought it was my system but its not since I tested it at home, but then at work its the same thing: ------snip------ passwd I typed it p4$sW3rd$ as my password but I was able to log in using p4$sW3rD ctrl-alt-del bash $ passwd changed it to 1234567899999 and I was able to log in using: 12345678 -----endsnip----- Does anyone else know of this? Has anyone heard of this? by the way I bcc'd this to Redhat as well. ;) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yours Truly J.
