X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.34 i686) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: Avoid passwd rules in FreeBSD-2.2.7-RELEASE? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Another password-type question from me today! not connected to the previous question tho: passwd seems to insist (even when root), on enforcing a rule about not allowing all lower-case passwords. I have grepped /etc/login.conf and didn't see anything (man passwd says it uses /etc/login.cap(5), but it ain't there on my system). Also, man passwd seems to imply the lower case rule is inherent to passwd - is this the case, and if not, how can I avoid the restriction? (Please, no lectures on why the rule is a Good Thing - the person who wants this password is more "important" than me). Thanks, Adam.
