If you have a SLES8 server, do it the easy way; use YaST.
Open YaST2 Control Center, select Security and Users on the left and then in the right panel select Security settings. This will open a new window. If you then select Custom settings and click Next, you are able to change all password settings, including the length !
Greetings,
Philippe

There are 13 characters in the shadow file.
Philippe Vervoort,
I know how to see the password lenght through Yast but I need to know what file is the password lenght stored at so I can run a script to extract it and report that to management.
