conversion to shadowed passwords was easy enough on 4.2, now how about
*double-length* passwords?  or do i have to get the source for the
shadow suite and install it?

                # cd /etc
        # pwconv5
        # chmod 600 passwd- shadow-

after doing that, i got MD5 longer-than-8-characters passwords by editing
"/etc/pam.d/login", "/etc/pam.d/passwd", and "/etc/pam.d/su", adding "md5"
(and "shadow" if not already there) to the end of the lines that begin with
either "auth" or "password" AND contain the string "/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so".
rebooted, and it worked for me.  your mileage may vary, caveat emptor and all
that...
