That is simply not true. Please, Jeremy, provide just one time someone offered a reason, other than "user choice". Or because "I don't want to". The technical facts are that enforcing strong passwords makes for a more secure system. It is the single-most thing folks can do to make their system secure. This is undeniable. Why shouldn't LFS do something that has such a sound technical reason, with really nothing that can be said against it, other than "I don't want to". The choice is still up to the reader to install the package or not. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 00:54:00 up 125 days, 27 min, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.12 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
