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. -- Davíð Steinn Geirsson andmann@andmann.eu.org (354)-8696608 "Support staff hung over, Send aspirin and come back LATER."
