On Solaris only the first 8 characters are significat when it comes to passwords. He'll just forget everything else. Had the same behaviour on Solaris 2.7 You can find that somewhere in the man page of passwd (if i'm not mistaken). my guess would be that win95-2k encrypts the password using all the characters and solaris will only use the first 8 during the encryption..
