Hello. I have a 32 character password and the new Xlogin system won't let
me log on. I went to the SIPB and they changed it for me, but other less
experienced users may have more trouble. I suggest that you assign no maximum
length, or put a maximum length on passwd() and other such programs, or
only check if the password is correct to the length that Xlogin inputs it.
These are only a few suggestions; There exist many more things to do, just
do SOMETHING!
