[kde-solaris] kcheckpass only reads first 8 characters of password

[Gedaliah Wolosh]

kcheckpass uses the function getpass() to read the password. getpass()
on solaris will only read the first 8 characters of a password.  The
function which should be used is getpassphrase() which will read password
phrases up to 256 characters.  I have been trying to compile kde with
little success.  If one of the kde-solaris packagers can build a
kcheckpass using getpassphrase() I'll be happy to test the binary.
