-----Original Message----- Subject: [ilugd] Passwords restricted to 8 digits
Hi Friends, In mine server (which i used to host websites) mine passwords whether root or other have been restricted to 8 digits . I can change the passwords to more digits but when i log in even a 8 digit password works. ie. i can login with even a 8 digit pass while i have changed and the server accepts the change to 15 or mnre digits. I mean is there a methord to bring the situation to normal. I am using Fedora Core 2 as the OS with webmin as the control panel. Pl. help me . I think the problem is with PAM is that true. I have googled but can not find a solution. I shall be very grateful. Thanks in advance for your time and effort. -- Regards Abhishek jain Try running the command authconfig and enable the MD5 (and optionally-shadow password). should help you.
