Problem Description:

4960245 sulogin limits password strings to PASS_MAX
 
(from 113482-01)
 
4390053 crypt(3c) needs to interoperate with *BSD and Linux
4248430 RFE: NIS+ should support alternate encryption algorithms for the user password
4192824 newkey/chkey should use a configurable crypt() to encrypt the users password
4700602 crypt_gensalt should be version SUNW_1.22 instead of SUNW_1.21
