Actually, I talked to a person at SGI. The problem is not the password program, it is the login program. Login only looks at the first 8 characters regardless of how many are set by passwd.

If I remember correctly, old versions of Solaris have the same "problem", I haven't verified it with recent ( >8.0) version.

If you'd like to, yes please. I haven't got a Solaris box around.
