Hello Newsgroup,

System is running Redhat 7.1. We have setup users accounts and when
the user's first logon, it will prompt them to re-enter a new
password, (i used the "chage" command.). Yet when enter a new
password, any password that is enter, it finds it invalid, it is
either too short, too simple and a whole lot other reasons. I've
tried passwords, which are complicated, acroymns for a sentences,
using upper and lower case with numeric and other characters involved.
The system still believes it to be too simple. I can use the passwd
command to specify a password and the verification process is
not as strict.

So basically how to we lessen the strictness of the verification when
the user logons.

Thanks and regards,

Mark.
