Hi.

I originally installed my machine using FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, later CVSupped to 
4.3-STABLE. Now, I just found out that I can log in using just the first 8 
characters of my [32-character] password. Seeing as thought this does not happen
with a friend's machine (which is also 4.3-STABLE), I would guess this is
something that changed between 4.2-RELEASE and 4.3-RELEASE (as this is what he
CVSupped from). Now, what I was wondering, how do I rebuild my password file to
use the new system?


BTW, please CC all replies to me, as I'm not on the list.
