Fix for smbpasswd Samba 2.2.4 on Solaris only taking 8 character passwords
Under Samba 2.2.4 (and possibly earlier), smbpasswd (when run locally) only
really reads the first 8 characters, as opposed to the full password.
Obviously, this can cause mass confusion. :)
The fix is pretty simple (I would offer a diff, but this is the kind of
thing the configure script should check for...) - under Solaris getpass()
will only return 8 characters - you must use getpassphrase()
