Two More Interview Questions

[Roy S. Rapoport]

The first one was thrown at me last week; I think it's actually very good:

How do you define a successful (IT|Software) project?

The second one, I was thinking about today when setting the password for
the machine that will soon replace the current www.baylisa.org box:

You have an enterprise with default installation and configuration of
Solaris 9 boxes.  What is the maximum effective password length you can
use? Is there a way to change it?

(By default, Solaris still uses crypt() for passwords, so only eight
characters count.  As of Solaris 9, at least, you can actually start using
MD5-style passwords for a much greater effective password length).
