This variables can be changed in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf

# username/password control (not recommended to change)
min_passwd_len = 5
max_passwd_len = 32
min_user_len   = 3
max_user_len   = 64
max_email_len  = 128
# New usernames
# min_user_len is used for sanity checks on the username upon 
authentication;
# min_new_user_len is the minimum user length for new users
# For legacy reasons, we need two different checks
min_new_user_len = 5

These are the defaults. When you change do not forget to restart all 
services...
