Authbug or what?

Hi

I'm currently testing out Solaris 10.

(SunOS login2 5.10 s10_72 i86pc i386 i86pc)

I just discovered that the password authentication is ignoring numbers.

i.e. i set the password:

"intarol091"

Now I can login with i.e. "intarol000".

Is this a bug or what?

It's not ignoring numbers. It's ignoring everything after the 8th character.This is because the default __unix__ crypt is only good up to 8 characters. To use >8 character passwords, choose a different hash algorithm. Take a look at policy.conf(4).-- WY
