How do I relax the password requirements in Fedora?
I though adjusting /etc/pam.d/system-auth was were the changed needed to
be made, I made this change:
#password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type=
password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass
#use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
but Fedora still seems to be strict on password requirements. So either I
attacked the wrong file or made the wrong changes.
Any pointers to where I should be making my changes?
change its parameters. Check "man pam_cracklib" for how it works and
the parameters it accepts. Personally, I'd leave it "requisite" and
change its parameters to accommodate your relaxed restrictions.

It may also be necessary to make an adjustment to the requirements in /etc/login.def to relax it. That file controls things like logging it and number of times you may enter it before it will not be accepted.
