Hi, I've got the following line in my /etc/pam.d/login password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 I also have PASS_MAX_LEN 8 in /etc/login.defs Does someone know why when I use a password with 14 chars it takes in consideration the 14 chars and not just the first 8 chars ?? Let say I use the passowd 12345678910111 when I login, if I just use the 12345678 password it doesn't works, but it should as I've decided just use 8 chars ... It must be relevant to md5 algo but why ?? I remember having using DES and the algo was taking in consideration only 8 chars even if you thought that you set a password of 10 chars. Thanks a lot. Jeremy. PS:I've defined my password after having put max=8
