Been there and know what you are dealing with. Thanks. I commented the pam_pwquality.so lines in passwd and system-auth. I now get "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error". I guess I went down a rabbit hole. Does anyone know how to disable complexity requirements? The stuff I am finding on the web appears outdated. Or, where are the procedures documented? Based on mailing list questions and the Unix and Linux Stack Exchange questions (and views for each question), it looks like about 15,000 people have had problems with this. If each user spends 30 minutes on the problem, that's 7,500 man-hours wasted. It is probably time the PAM folks fix the problem.
