hmm, passwd(1) says:
The new password should be at least six characters long and not
purely alphabetic. Its total length must be less than _PASSWORD_LEN
(currently 128 characters). Numbers, upper case letters and meta
characters are encouraged.
I'm moving this question to netbsd-help since its not specific to the pmax
port.
