This also affects our school district. We have been unable to find any
greeter that fully displays the entire PAM message. We are using FreeIPA
with Kerberos, but it should also affect anyone using modern security
practices with LDAP or PAM. For example, if the user is required to
change their password, and their new password is too short, they will
get the message "Bad Password: To s....", making the process very
confusing for them. This makes it impractical to have any password
requirements (minimum characters, dictionary check, etc.) because the
user can't see why their password was rejected.
