How did you created the user. useradd creates the user, but do not set a password.Also, the encrypted password you mentioned is not an MD5 password. (it's for example the output of `mkpasswd testuserpasssdf 33`) I suppose your system is not MD5 enabled. Only MD5 passwords can be longer than 8 characters. As MD5 passwords is the default on Debian, I'm lowering the severity of this bug. I'm interrested in the following point: * How did you created the user? * How did you set the user's password? * What's your /etc/pam.d/passwd (and other included files)? In particular, does it contain something like: password required pam_unix.so md5 Kind Regards,
The user(s) was created using: useradd -c "Real Name" -g group -m -p encryptedpass username Referring to useradd manpage I used crypt() to encrypt the password. My /etc/pam.d/passwd: # The PAM configuration file for the Shadow `passwd' service # @include common-password --------------------- Tnx Tina -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
