On, I'm getting old. I should have thought about the number
of characters more before posting it... My recolection
is that since the /etc/shadow file... the passwords are stored
with a one way hash. One that I'm familiar with, md5sume creates
32 bit hash, regardless of what u give it.
Vince the happy Linux guy.
ps:now if I can get the media for Second life to work.

F14 with the propietry nVidia drivers make SL usable
(F10 it was not).
