Description Need Real Name 2001-10-26 13:45:07 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
All NIS accounts are rejected from logging on the system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a RH 7.2 system on a brand new Athlon PC.
2.Select NIS access with a given NIS domain and server.
3.Reboot machine and attempt to log on using any NIS accounts.


Actual Results:    All access are declined.  System logs reveals 
authentication failures.



Expected Results:  Successful log in.

The same set of NIS accounts works okay on a system installed with RedHat 
7.1, using the same set up as above.

I believe I have now worked out the problem.

The authentication process has apparantly been changed in that
it will accept the first 8 characters as a valid password.

Before RH 7.2, the authentication will accept the first 8 characters
of a password as well as the full password if it is longer than 8 
characters.

Under RH 7.2, if the full password longer then 8 characters is
supplied, login is rejected.  The user has to enter the first 8 
characters of a password to log on.

This poses an embarrassment in a mixed NIS environment.
