Not true. Since I operate SCO systems which *do* have an eight character password limit, you would have through I would have noticed as much in Linux as the first time I setup my password on SCO I noticed it right off. But to be safe, I did some testing and best I can tell going back through two years of RH and MDK Linux, my greater than eight character passwords have been enforced to their fullest extent. -- Woody --------------------------------------------------------------- Gatewood Green Network/System Administrator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linif.org/ Linux in Idaho Falls Linux User Group ---------------------------------------------------------------
