Hi guys,

For the first time in a while, I've needed to use the cups web
interface, and when setting the password I'm told my password isn't
long/difficult enough. What governs the password difficulty for
lppasswd? It's not the same as the usual user password, because I'm
trying to set it the same as my root password and it's not accepting it.


theluggage:~ # lppasswd root
Enter password:
Enter password again:
lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected.
Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain
your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.


Thanks
Hans
