8 character limit on passwords?

Managers,
    I know this horse has been beaten for a long time but I am a Tru64 admin
transitioning to Solaris and am having trouble believing that I can't use a
password longer than 8 characters under Solaris 8. Am I going to have to
suck it up and accept this fact or is there any way to increase the maximum
length WITHOUT writing my own version of passwd? I apologize for the newbie
question but Tru64's "Enhanced Security" feature has spoiled me.

Thanks,

Allen
