If you set the password in the kickstart, it doesn't do any quality checks at all. You could set it to "a" if you liked. > How could I customize the password settings for installing from the > gui? You would need to add a /etc/security/pwquality.conf.d/yourname.conf with the settings you desired. For a boot image like a netinstall or dvd you would need to have that in the package set when you make the image. For a live I think you could just add it after you booted if you like (or add it in the kickstart to be made). > I also couldn't find any way to do it after installation. > system-config-authentication didn't seem to be able to disable the > password quality checks. I have to directly modify the pam.d files > to remove pwquality, which is a rather unfortunate drastic measure. Modify /etc/security/pwquality.conf.d/whatever.conf (at least with f23/rawhide). I doubt thats been pushed to older stable releases. kevin
