Right, mystery solved. I did not realise that passwd allows root to set the user's password to anything, even if the cracklib checks fail.
If I instead run 'sudo -u testuser passwd' then I am unable to set a weak password. Sorry for the noise. -- Sam Morris <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
