did that before asking here, try logging on as that user or just 'su -' to that user and change your password to another single char password. it won't allow that user to change it

like what i've stated.security is not an issue. it's the possibility. thanks anyways for your comments.


Since you have been given all the warnings but no help.

I was able to do this as root:

[root@bretsony root]# adduser testdude
[root@bretsony root]# passwd testdude
Changing password for user testdude.
New password: # I entered "a" (no quotes)
BAD PASSWORD: it's WAY too short
Retype new password: # I entered "a" againg (no quotes)
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

I was then able to log in as testdude from a vt with the single char
password a

This is on a RHL 7.3 machine.
