[Fedora-directory-users] big problem with password length
I to all, I have a big problem with my fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL4, my passwords are "CRYPT" the problem: when I change the password an one user es 123456789 the fedara-ds register only the fiirst 8 character. so If I try to login is sufficient write the password 12345678 the last character isn''t necessary.. How I can force fedora-ds to register oll my password characters? thanks....

In order to use longer passwords, you have to use a different encryption algorithm. -paul - -- Paul D.
