Bug Description
During ubuntu 8.10 install, when I create a user with a password > 8 characters, I can't login after the installation completes.
Actually, to login I have to use the password mangled to 8 characters : for "verylongpassword" I have to use "verylong" to login.
This bug seems related to #75536 and #287134 (maybe these issues have been inproperly fixed)
