Kerberos for Macintosh - password length

The krb5, des and krb4 sources limit password length to 1023 characters.

The KfM graphical interface limits passwords to whatever the 
operating system's password text field limits are.  The Mac-specific 
code stores password strings in std::strings before passing them to 
the krb5 library, so there's no hard coded length limit.


Hope this helps,
