Typically 8 characters, but afaik the limitation is in your system's crypt()
and historical backward-compatibility.  Implying that,
	login = des $1$2qGr5PPQ$eT08WBFev3RPLNChixg0H.
	login = des $2a$12$eIAq8PR8sIUnJ1HaohxX2O9x9Qlm2vK97LJ5dsXdmB.eXF42qjchC
for MD5 and blowfish, respectively, should work if your crypt supports them,
as FreeBSD's and NetBSD's do.
