Hi,

We are running Slackware Linux (kernel version 1.1.13) and we have
experienced the bug where similar usernames are treated as the same 
(for example, when davidf changes his password, davids' password also
gets changed.)

Is there a quick fix for this problem, and if so, what is?

Thanks in advance

Andrew Pollock
