Do you have a pointer that describe and document the PAM module you
are using for that purpose ? I am wondering if the issue is not just
that we enforce the password to be at least 1 char in length. I am
guessing nobody has ever been trying this before with E :-) The code
where the issue come from is in src/bin/e_auth.c at line 141. If you
have time to play around and see how to make that work, I am sure a
patch will be welcome !
