- Local mailbox (pop-3/imap) people have logins of the form
-
- i.surname:sdfbnasdf7<:xxx:yy:i.surname:/home/i.surname:restrictedshell
-
- Up until an upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3, they could login ok. Now, the name/passwd
- compare is not accepted unless I truncate their login name to <= 8 chars.
-
- Note that pop/imap daemons calling getpass() or crypt() work fine. Its only
- direct login which is having problems.
-
- ...Or did I forget to re-install 4.3/net-2 sourced login.c?
