Solaris 8 Login User LENGTH 1

[jccl2]

Hi ALL,

How can I create user, not password, with more than 8 digits???

Thanks.

As far as I know, you can create a username with more than eight characters, but the OS will only validate on the first eight. Maybe secure Solaris will allow this, but I have no experience of this. There's also PAM, but again I have no experience of this.

All I ask of you
Is make my wildest dreams come true

I have a passwd and it needs changing each month, say it's called "mypasswd"

When asked to change it I then call it "mypasswd777"
then verify.

Next time I sign on I still use "mypasswd"

Eight is the maximum but you only "adjust" to keep the same passwd.

See "man passwd"

Passwords must be constructed to meet the following requirements:

o Each password must have PASSLENGTH characters, where PASSLENGTH is defined in /etc/default/passwd and is set to 6. Only the first eight characters are significant.
