I can deal with 11111111 instead of 111111, but correcthorse is more of a pain (if libcrack or whatever still allows it, even). It's also not consistent with other components, not that we've ever managed to get them all entirely consistent. gnome-initial-setup allows weak passwords with a small warning, and it creates an admin user. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
