Hm, actually I've set the min length through YaST to 4, and the result is:
password: minlen=4
However, when I enter a password with 5 letters, I get an error that the password is too short:
Michael, can you comment this?
Furthermore, after boot, by default the checkbox "check new passwords" is diabled in YaST (what would be quite bad when it would have any effect - but it hasn't any effect, passwords are checked nevertheless).
If "check new passwords" is checked, it means that additional cracklib tests will be used, not that there won't be checkes at all. I hope you mean the first boot, not that the settings is changed back to deault after next boot...
Furthermore, there seems to be no possibility to disable simplicity check (as at least the checkbox "check new passwords" hasn't any effect, and an extra checkbox is no longer available).
Hm, true, this is a bug in YaST. Workaround is: first change the minimum length to 5, than uncheck the checkbox.... -- 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.
