Hi,
I just reformatted and have decided to try slim/xfce4 out. I managed to install it all without a hitch so far, but I can't seem to use long ~30 character passphrases with slim. I can log in through the shell no problem, but slim just refuses, although it works fine with smaller passwords. I have already checked that I am entering them correctly and I am pretty sure that's not the problem. I wanted to ask if anyone else has had any similar problems?

A character limitation in SLiM... I never heard of this before. It would be interesting to find out how long a passphrase it will accept.
... Skydiving down the terminal.
I'll report back, soon.

I can confirm that SLiM fails on password of 30 or longer characters. 29 and below works great.
Curious about why one would need a password this long, though.

Hmm. yeah, not many will .. but predefining limits does not seem like a good idea.
Be yourself, because you are all that you can be

Been wondering why commands needing the root password (shutdown etc) doesn't work from SLiM for me.. Now I know
Thanks!
