The 'max' option (as set to 8 by default in /etc/pam.d/common-password) seems to have no effect. It neither prevents me from setting a password longer than 8 characters, nor truncates the password to the specified length. According to the documentation, it 'allows control over the length of the password', so I think that preventing the password from being set is the correct behaviour. The 'min' option works as expected. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libpam-modules depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-6 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libpam0g 0.79-3.2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30.27-3 SELinux shared libraries libpam-modules recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFFp1vshl/216gEHgRAukWAKCXMzdzKeaPucN/EjO8HjP/v1PtBQCgrREU gp4n0BOvvrlzPtaRK+scTIc= =hP7N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
