[wplug-bsd] Password oddity

Good evening, all,
I just rebooted my system in an effort to upgrade FreeBSD to 4.9-STABLE
(hoping to solve PPPoE and printer problems). When I went to login, I
was on the phone and was reading a URL to a friend... as a result, I
accidentally tacked ".com" on the end of my password. I expected to have
to re-type it, but was shocked when I ended-up at a login prompt.
Does anyone know why this might happen? I can append at lest a dozen
characters to the end of my password, and it will still work. Also, it
will only work for non-root accounts.
