Yeah, I saw that too. A literal "no maximum length" is a denial of service waiting to happen. I'm sure the passwords are hashed, so it isn't a matter of storage, but the input buffer is not unlimited, and neither are the hash iterations to process the input. What is the actual limit? 256 characters? 512? -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
