Exactly experiencing the same from side and was abt to write the same thing , Thanks for making ;) -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of zhicheng wang Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 5:09 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: yppasswd length limit dear all, i hope that this is the right place to post this query. I have a few RHEL AS3 servers and some ws3 and rh8.0 desktops. we use nis server on a as3 to authenticate users. if the passwd is created/changed on the nis server using passwd, it is ok and can be very long (up to 256char?) and users have to type exactly the correct passwd to log in - no longer, no shorter. if users change their passwd using yppasswd, the passwd is truncated to 8 char and you can type anything after the 8th char to log on. i have been googling around and it seems that there is no way to work around it. that message might be old and i hope that there should be a way to make users type exactly the correct passwd to log in today. thanks cheng ===== Best wishes Z C Wang ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
