I have noticed on a Centos 4.3 server where I had set some >8 characters passwords for some accounts, that only the first 8 characters are needed (if I forget or mistype the others I login all the same).
Can I "move" the live, running system to longer passwords, and how? or is a reinstall necessary?
TIA, Marco
