DA and Linux maximum password characters

[uberguru]

Hi,

Can you help me with the maximum password length or restrictions allowed for DA and/or Linux.

1. DA admin, user or reseller password length/restriction?
2. MySQL, phpMyAmin length/restriction?
3. root level maximum length/restriction?

Thanks.

Hello,


Things described in 1. and 2. are system based, I guess. That means it depend on how you store passwords, i.e. password algorithm (see /etc/sysconfig/authconfig on CentOS).

Thus you might want to read this article http://blog.anthonyrthompson.com/2010/02/maximum-password-length-on-linux/

For MySQL http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/67001


All those links have been found with the help of Google. Note I did not spend much time to find them and it took me no more than 5 minutes to answer your Linux based questions. So, my question would be why don't you use Google yourself?

Yet another thought on this subject: DirectAdmin imposes limits as well.

This may help.
