Many thanks to the responses from James, Frediano and Brian on this issue. 
I see CVS has the fix for bumping the password limit to 40 characters. I 
tried downloading the latest snapshot, but I'm getting errors when running 
'make'. This is my configure:

[root@mymachine freetds]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freedtds 
--with-tdsver=7.0

... and this is the end of the 'make' output:

Making all in dblib
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/freetds/src/dblib'
Making all in unittests
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/freetds/src/dblib/unittests'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

.... I'm none too versed in the ways of 'make' and compiling so any light 
that could be shed on this would be helpful.

advTHANXance!!
