dear fellow-managers,

some time ago, Richard Young posted a problem & a summary concerning a
problem i beleive i ran into now too:

http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/07/msg00310.html

he reported that there seemed to be a bug in this patch for 4.0E that
affects any login with 8 chars & that Compaq would be releasing a patch
for that problem. (CDE login gives "wrong password, try again' -- normal
terminal login works fine)

searching on Compaqs patch pages i didn't find a patch which explicitly
mentions that problem
(and applying the 3 security patches ssrt0614u/ ssrt0615u/ ssrt0617u/
didn't help much further, either...)

is there a patch out yet??

cheers,
        torsten
