retitle 87301 [POST-SARGE] [CHRISTIAN] Inappropiate default for PASS_MAX_LEN when MD5 used
tags 87301 patch
thanks

The attached patch moves the PASS_MAX_LEN line to the end of the
login.defs file, commented, in the "obsoleted by PAM" section, as
Nicolas clearly demonstrated that this value is only used when PAM is
not used.
