Password - Fedora Core 3

Hello all,



Fedora core 3 (with all updates until Jul/12/2006)
has a problem with lenght of password

Any char (of password) after 08th (eighth), doesn´t
make difference

This was not happen in Core 2 or Core 1

All right ... Core 3 is not in production ...
I know ...

But it is a serious problem, and could be fix

thanks

In most cases this is because the user has selected to not use md5sum
in authconfig. THis defaults to DES-HASH which only stores 8
characters. You need to use authconfig and turn on Use MD5sum and then
have users recreate their passwords.
