From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: I am using Xscreensaver on Toshiba 4080xcdt laptop. Pentium II 366 processor, 128MB RAM. RH8.0, plus all RHN updates. When I lock the screen with Xscreensaver, it takes additional characters for my password as valid. So, if my password is "password", I can input "passworda;lksdjfl;asjf;lkasdjf;lasdjfl;aksdjfl;kasdjf;alsdkjf" and successfully authenticate. I append any ammount of characters to the correct password and it authenticates. Now, I need to have the correct password to append to, but I thought that it would pass the whole text box rather than parse it when its correct. If I attach extra characters BEFORE my password, it does NOT work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Activate Xscreensaver with password protection 2.type my password + any ammount of extra characters 3.success! Actual Results: Success! Expected Results: I guess it should have said Sorry!! Additional info:
Passwords under some authentication methods are limited to 8 characters; anything else is ignored.
