This seems to be in libopie rather than sshd or libpam and happens when the username is longer than OPIE_PRINCIPAL_MAX. I'm not sure exactly where inside libopie it is, but commenting out pam_opie.so seems to prevent it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_opie/pam_opie.c?annotate=1.26 prevents usernames longer than OPIE_PRINCIPAL_MAX from being accepted by pam_opie. -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
