Yep - use the pam uam. You'll need some software on the mac to support this
(any mac gurus out there tell us what it is?) I'm pretty sure it's just a
patch from apple.

Subject: passwords longer than 8 characters

I've got netatalk 1.4 set up and working fine on RedHat 6.2, but I'm
finding there's a problem when people have passwords longer than 8
characters. Is there some way, maybe through a UAM, to have it accept
longer passwords? (The end doal is actually to go and authenticate
against an NT domain using pam_smb, which is also set up just fine. I
just run into problems with these long passwords.)

I hope this isn't a FAQ; I didn't see anything like it in the
FAQ-o-matic, but maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

Thanks,
