passwd ignores the result of such checks if the user is root, and only root should be allowed to set an empty password.
Well, In 10.1, that was possible. I've set in yast the minimal password length to 0. Than I've created a user with yast2-users and gave him a password (as yast-users doesn't accept an empty password). Than I've logged on in the console as this user (not as root) and I've set the new, empty password using 'passwd'. It worked. If it is desired is another question... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
