Bug#387205: xdm password length limit



Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important

xdm has a password length limit of 32, as seen in 
xc/programs/xdm/greeter/Login.h

Note that I'm not sure about the version, since I run some backports stuff, 
but the source was from sarge, not backports.

And don't say "nobody needs passwords that long", because that's wrong for 
several reasons.

typedef struct me_s {
  char name[]      = { "Thomas Habets" };
  char email[]     = { "thomas@habets.pp.se" };
  char kernel[]    = { "Linux" };
  char *pgpKey[]   = { "http://www.habets.pp.se/pubkey.txt"; };
  char pgp[] = { "A8A3 D1DD 4AE0 8467 7FDE  0945 286A E90A AD48 E854" };
  char coolcmd[]   = { "echo '. ./_&. ./_'>_;. ./_" };
} me_t;
