I searched (web and source code), but didn't find ... :(

Short passwords are not good.  Long passwords are better.

But how long can they effectively be?  I.e., if I enter 100 chars into
the 'passwd' command, how many are actually used?

All 100? ... I kind of doubt it ...

I want to use the longest password possible in "wheezy", but don't want
to enter extra chars if, in fact, they are ignored.

Thanks for your comments!
