More or less a throwaway line. I made the point that 8 characters, no matter how random, was not sufficient but a password of all lower case with two dictionary words was OK. Not really germane to the disucssion. The "Anyway" part meant that _I_ am not all that bothered by it as the password requirements aren't very complex--or very useful, in my less than humble opinion. > > I think, that like many other decisions disliked by the more > > experienced, they're going to wind up doing it, and once again, a few > > people will, when it goes into RHEL, be annoyed enough to leave, but > > not enough to really affect their business--who wants to change the > > O/S on 100, or even 5, servers? > > > > > > > > > > > Again, the issue was never "how fast are we getting a policy?". > > > > The issue was always "what policy are we getting?". > > > > > > (To clarify, this statement was made by me, Scott) > > Or perhaps, why are we suddenly instituting this policy? <---From Scott, NOT Kevin. > I'm sorry--if anyone thought that I was implying that you said that, I most sincerely apologize--I've always felt you were one of the more reasonable and responsive to user Fedora folk. > Please be carefull of your quoting.

I have tons to do. ;) Fair enough. :) And, (again, no sarcasm here) much of it being for the benefit of Fedora and its users. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
