Re: Password aging

[Jenny Gluck <jsgluck () SYR EDU>]

- We had to limit our special case characters, because one or more of the active systems (e.g. operating systems, 
applications, and databases) would not allow those specific special characters as part of their password.

- We also discovered some systems would not handle the longer password length, which forced us to set the 8 character 
limit. 

- We are basically deploying password synchronization across our systems.

why?

rather than longer than 7 characters?  (its a real pain to truncate
a string when there is no real need)
