Hi I've been struggling with pam.d configurations all day long and couldn't fix this annoying problem. And it is happening on a Gentoo Linux Server Box that serves Yellow Pages for a 100 PCs network!
You can happily login using only the first 8 characters of your password and even type whatever you want after the 8th! Tryed /etc/pam.d/passwd whith (from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-security.xml) : auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok account required pam_unix.so password required pam_cracklib.so difok=3 retry=3 minlen=10 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 password required pam_unix.so md5 use_authtok session required pam_unix.so And nothing changes. Desperate for hints.

Researchers into the phenomenon cite the added concentration needed to "make sense" of such unnatural three dimensional objects." -- [email protected] mailing list
