hi Thank You for making it all perfectly clear. i also notice i must at least use a number in the beginning of my password.
i guess my question though was geared more to why i was able to do creaye a user name over 8 characters under the CDE console management,and not under the GUI User management of the Gnome Desktop of Solaris 10. What the difference is i still do not understand. But i do understand what you are saying regarding Open Solaris. By the way i wll look at the passwd (4) manual page Thank You This message posted from opensolaris.org
