It's a two part thing - you need to use dhx authentication, **and** you need
to be using the latest version of appletalk (see earlier email from
someone).

Where is this limitation? Is it in the uam from netatalk, or is it built in
into
the
chooser? If it is part of the uam, it would be nice to lift that limitation,
because then
one would be able to authenticate against external services (i.e., LDAP)
with
longer passwords.
