Is it really true that xlogin only lets you type 20 characters
for a password?  (I can't verify this because I'm dialed in at
the moment.)  If so, this should really be fixed.  There was
actually a bug report sent in shortly after xlogin first came
out from a user whose password was too long.  I agree that the
buffer size for the password changing program and that used by
the login library should be the same size.
