Yup, that's the case and I tested it on FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE.
What's up with that?  Is it a feature or a bug?

Subject: Accepting passwords of greater length than stored


Hi all,
Does any know why when SSHing to a FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE box succeeds when
you
enter a password LONGER than the password on the system?  The initial
part
must match the password, but it doesn't seem to matter if you just keep
on
typing.
I assume it also has nothing to do SSH, as ProFTPd suffers from the safe
symptom, but I am unable to test telnet at the moment.
Thanks
Scott
