To all the folks who write code for Linux:
I live in a house by myself. Nobody else ever uses my computer. I really hate it when some program tells me I need an 8-character password. I would be just as happy to bypass the password stuff altogether, but I have a simple password that I want to use on everything. It has 5 characters, and I can remember it. Please keep people like me in mind. Thank you.
Now, please explain how they'll be able to tell the difference between you and someone who needs better security. As I recall, SUSE only warns you about weak passwords. It doesn't stop you from using one. In fact, you can even configure it for automatic login.
Yes - all my SUSE systems have auto login. I suppose the OP could even use root as the main user or a root equivalent. A very bad idea and not worth the trouble, IMO, but it could be done. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
