That allows _short_ passwords, but not _weak_ ones. After changing it to 1, I just had the following exchange with passwd: Enter the new password (minimum of 1, maximum of 8 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. New password: a Bad password: a palindrome. Try again. New password: abc Bad password: too simple. Try again. How do I disable those checks? -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
