On the contrary, it's easier:) The passwd program allows the root user the break the password rules. So, when you add a user you are asked for a password, and being root you can get away with whatever password you choose. You have to be persistent, though, as at first the program objects. But keep insisting on the short or empty or whatever password and that's what you get. Even later on, you can force simplified passwords by being root, like: # passwd diskjockey New password: dj ...object...object New password: dj Verify.. New passwd: dj # IMHO this is better then editing the /etc/passwd files directly. -- groetjes, carel
