Running passwd as root, I can make my ordinary user password arbitrarily short (except for an empty password which fails with the error "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" after entering it twice). With System Settings->User Accounts, it won't allow a password shorter than 6 characters even if the page is unlocked using root. (The password behavior appears identical whether or not the page is unlocked.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
