Dear FreeBSD,

    I just noticed that a couple of my 3.3 (or 3.4RC) systems are
not recognizing any more than 8 characters of my passwords.

    A friend's system running 3.3 insists on all 9 characters of
my password on his system.

    How did my system start dropping the characters after 8, and
how can I get it to use up to 128?  

    Did this happen when I installed (or tried to install) Samba?
