Password lengths (again)

[rdailey at colusanet.com]

I know how much we are all against passwords longer than eight characters ;)

So, how about this one:  Passwords can be of indeterminate length when 
entered.  Then, when the svc_acct.export script is run, it only reads the 
first eight characters of the password when generating the passwd 
file?  This way, the radius file part gets all characters, and the passwd 
(for e-mail) gets the eight significant and I don't have to explain to all 
of our users that they need to come up with a new password and reconfigure 
their boxes.

Can anyone help me with the necessary code?
