Hi all,

        my questions was about the programing in the C2-security mode on
the DEC OSF/1 3.0.

>1) how *correctly* determine the current security level (BSD/C2)?

  The security level is specified in the /etc/rc.config file
(This isn't exactly the clear solution - standard system call)

>2) how to check passwords (via crypt() anything else) longer then 8 char. ?

  Use the (undocumented) bigcrypt() call. It works just like crypt().
(This work fine :-)

Thanks for all replies!

Regards,
        Lubos
