--- Comment #10 from Tim Fechtner
After looking into the code I found out that the absolute minimal length of a password is "5". All numbers entered below 5 will be set to 5.
# define CO_MIN_LENGTH_BASE 5 opt->min_length = strtol(*argv+7,&ep,10); if (!ep || (opt->min_length < CO_MIN_LENGTH_BASE)) opt->min_length = CO_MIN_LENGTH_BASE;
Maybe the yast module should allow only numbers >= 5 here.
No, I would say that this is a bug. YaST has allowed (in openSUSE 11.1 and befor) to set the password length to smaller values than 5 (including 0!) and disabled the password check. I use this feature quite often to be able to create users with an empty password. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
