From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: If kerberos support is enabled, users that have a longer username than 9 chars can not log in... even root can not su - to that user account. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH73 with kerberos support or upgrade RH72 system that had kerberos support. 2. create an user that has username longer than 9 chars (adduser u234567890) 3. set a password for that user (passwd u234567890) 4. ftp 0 (username: u234567890 ) - it will fail 5. su - u234567890 - it will fail as well Actual Results: Invalid password Expected Results: Successful login. Additional info: This bug came in when I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3. During some period I used kerberos, than I turd off the kdc etc kerberos services, and the system was working perfect. But after the upgrade not even one user with longer username could log in. SOLUTION: - in authconf remove kerberos support.
