Synopsis: adduser concatenates the password

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: simon
State-Changed-When: Thu May 27 14:04:10 PDT 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
The problem is that adduser in 4.X default to DES passwords, even when
login.conf is set to MD5.  DES passwords can't be very long (10
characters, like you mentioned is probably about right) so more
characters will just be ignored.
This problem is mentioned in PR bin/24953, so I'm closing this PR.
