Because of my looking at my DB layout just now to check the UPGRADE script, I just realized that there's another field that should probably be changed: pw_clear_passwd is only 16 characters long, and while that's more than sufficient for crypt (only the first 8 are significant anyway), it's insufficient for MD5. After digging the code, there's 2 places that this would need to change: 1) MAX_PW_CLEAR_PASSWD is currently set to 16, meaning that attmpts to set a larger password fail. 2) The column pw_clear_passwd is CHAR(16), so larger passwords won't fit. vgetpasswd() uses 128 character buffers, so we should be able to increase the clear password field to at least 64 without a problem. I'm not sure it really needs to go beyond 32, but I actually have been know to use passwords larger than 16 characters...
