Reminds me of a need I couldn't conveniently satisfy: allow known weak passwords on some specific user accounts but make sure you can not use them remotely (in my case I only wanted to allow GDM logins for them). E.g. make it so that sshd only lets you login if your user is in the "ssh-able" group or some such, just like we do for sudo. Stefan
