Hi there,
I've just noticed that logins on my HP/UX box here didnt work to the repository. Since we have a number of different OS' here I found it very odd. It turns out the problem is GETPASS (which is a macro to native getpass() ) truncating passwords at 8 chars, which makes it useless for reading most passwords for cvs. Has anyone run into this problem before? And does anybody know of a decent getpass() replacement that we could use for this purpose to let cvs login properly over the multipls OS' without depending on a native (potentially broken) version. I've tried using Bugzilla at cvshome.org but since it denies creating new bugs (why? would be very nice) perhaps someone in the development team could create one with my proposal? I'll try and find time to dig up a replacement for getpass to provide a patch.
