I'm using debian sarge with shadow passwords and md5. The file /etc/pam.d/common-password contains a single uncommented line:
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=6 max=8 md5 passwd command doesn't let me chose a password shorter than 6 characthers (fine), but it accepts passwords longer than 8 chars (quite strange). I doesn't just consider the first 8 chars, but the whole password and entries in /etc/shadow change if I choose for example: charachter 123456789 ecc. passwd1 testpassWORD passwd2 testpassFOO Can somebody explain me that behaviour? thanks -- Leonardo Canducci GPG Key ID: 429683DA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
