Re: [K12OSN] Password Policy

["Kari Matthews" <karisue gmail com>]

I am not familiar w/ FC, but I know from my SuSE experience that I couldn't change a password to something simple in the GUI, but it would allow any password at the command line.  Does the command line insist on strong passwords for you?  In SuSE, you get a warning that the password is weak, but it does change it anyway.

Greetings,

My LTSP users authenticate to a Mac OS X Open Directory server, and
it works great.  However, we allow our student users to have
relatively simple passwords.  The problem is when we try to change
passwords from within the fedora core 4/ltsp environment.  Fedora
requires them to create a strong password.  Is there any way I can
avoid the strong password, and allow them to choose whatever they want?

Thanks,

Brad
