When I try to set root's password:
root@OpenWrt:~# passwd
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
It seems the maximum length is 8. If I try to set a password longer than 8, only first 8 characters is valid.
How can I set a longer password for root?
