Linux/Solaris passwd length problem

Good Evening.....

I recently replaced a Solaris 7 box with a Red Hat Enterprise 3 Dell. This 
machine is an NIS client with a Solaris 9 NIS master. In the past, the 
encrypted password in /etc/shadow was always 13 characters long. Now, if a 
user changes their password on the Linux NIS client, the password length 
is now 35 character long. I don't know if this will present a problem 
anywhere. 

Any advise?

Thank you as always.
