Odd password issue

I seem to be unable to have a password greater than 12 characters when setting it from the administration menu (setting a user's password through RNYA admin).

I need to do some more testing to see if it won't work for user registration or user self-password-change. But for now it's definitely affecting me in admin.

is the input maxlength="12" ?

sorry for the slow reply - I'm currently getting ready to launch a huge project. I'm a bit too overwhelmed right now to get to the bottom of this.

change

Code:

      echo '<tr><td>' . _PASSWORD . ':</td><td><input type="password" name="chng_pass" size="12" maxlength="12" /></td></tr>';

to

Code:

      echo '<tr><td>' . _PASSWORD . ':</td><td><input type="password" name="chng_pass" size="12" maxlength="'.$ya_config['pass_max'] .'" /></td></tr>';

then on line 146

change

Code:

      echo '<tr><td>' . _RETYPEPASSWD . ':</td><td><input type="password" name="chng_pass2" size="12" maxlength="12" /> <font class="tiny">' . _FORCHANGES . '</font></td></tr>';

no worries im guessing the same should be applied to the creating of new users aswell

I just checked and adduser already has the proper code.
