[Cooker] PAM/passwd bug in 8.1

[Ryan]

PAM in 8.1 isnt set to use MD5, therefore users can have passwords >8chars
but u can login using only the 1st 8.
to fix this do:
edit /etc/pam.d/passwd
change the line:
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok
TO:
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok md5


This is with Mandrake 8.1/pam-0.75-7mdk

        Thanks,
        Ryan
