What I described is an inconsistency between running *passwd* as root, vs. running the *graphical password tool* (NOT passwd!) as root (by which I mean with the page unlocked using the root password). One allows arbitrarily short passwords (except for zero length) and the other does not, even when *both* are being run as root. -- 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?
