to my amazement today i typed in the username and password to log onto the datastage server via the client and logged in. OK, that was expected; although I knew i had typed the password incorrectly
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
i.e.
username: dsadm
password: passwor (it is supposed to be password)
it turns out that i can type anything as the last letter _/xK2 etc etc. My question is then - how is this being validated on UNIX? How on earth am i getting past the password validation?
