Package: webcalendar Version: 1.0.5-15 Severity: important webcalendar appears to have some sort of length restriction on passwords. This is obnoxious, but lots of Web sites seem to do it these days. What makes this particularly nasty, though, is that the restriction is only enforced at login time. In other words, I can set a long password such as "alwksefjkwlaefhwkalerjfhkewlrfj" just fine, but when I try to log in, the password is not recognized. My first encounter with this involved the "admin" account, at which point I just purged the package and started over (easier than figuring out how to reset the password by hand...)
If this restriction is deliberate, you should verify before you set the password that the user will still be able to log in! Most of the aforementioned Web sites do this by displaying a little note like "the password is invalid: it must be between 6 and 12 characters, contain no special characters, and must not contain the word 'Belgium'".
