AUTH password problem....SOLVED

[Josep M.]

Hello.

The bug is in chpasswd command inclosed in debian etch that uses only
the 8 first characters, if You change the password with passwd command
the problem is solved. When Fabian said about change password with
passwd command was ok, and after change another time the password with
chpasswd 
the problem was present another time.

Thanks for all answers.

Josep
