All.
My sincerest apologies about my post. There is no bug - turns out, I
didn't realize this (from man passwd)
Passwords must be constructed to meet the following require-
ments:
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 signifi-
cant.
And I was shocked when a password exceeding that could be changed
around a bit and one could still gain access to the root account.
Once again, my apologies.
- Peter
