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. ;)
