One could use the passwd command to change the password after the install (assuming the passwd command won't require strong passwords as well). There is the danger that since the definition of "weak" will change, one might be doing an install and suddenly find that one's password is now considered weak, and have to make up a new one on the spot. If they don't write it down, they could forget it after the install, and be locked out. I was also wondering about ways to get around the password - for example if the disk isn't encrypted, or there's no bootloader password. Wouldn't anaconda need to enforce some of that as well, to be consistent? -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
