I am trying to require users to put in 8 character passwords but as it stands it will take 1 just fine. I Tried messing with the login.conf file but it still looks like it accepts 1 character as an acceptable password. here is what i did. Also will this restrict other programs to the set minimum or can they just set the password to what there parameters dictate? such as usermin password change util. added this under default :minpasswordlen=8:\ ran the data base cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
