Thanks to Casper Dik, I was able to find a solution this problem. I was bitten by this problem I had modified the pam.conf when I installed Titan (a security module that secures your Solaris installs). Once I replaced the original pam.conf, the password length started working again. I've written up a small how-to for people interested in changing from default crypt() weak passwords to Blowfish in Solaris 9 (release > 08/02) - Available here: http://www.open-systems.org/users/bruno/solarispasswords.html Other Solution as proposed by Steve Sandau was to use npasswd. - http://www.utexas.edu/cc/unix/software/npasswd/ Thank you managers.
