I am not familiar w/ FC, but I know from my SuSE experience that I couldn't change a password to something simple in the GUI, but it would allow any password at the command line. Does the command line insist on strong passwords for you? In SuSE, you get a warning that the password is weak, but it does change it anyway. kari <div>On 4/4/06, Brad Johnson <<a href="mailto:bjohnson@independence.k12.ia.us">bjohnson@independence.k12.ia.us</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Greetings, My LTSP users authenticate to a Mac OS X Open Directory server, and it works great. However, we allow our student users to have relatively simple passwords. The problem is when we try to change passwords from within the fedora core 4/ltsp environment. Fedora requires them to create a strong password. Is there any way I can avoid the strong password, and allow them to choose whatever they want? Thanks, Brad </blockquote></div>
