So, is the problem that it's not asking you to enter the password again if it's a weak password? That sounds like a bug. If so, can you see what happens if you try to change the password of a non-root user? # useradd foo # passwd foo (enter a weak password) # userdel foo That's not how passwd behaves for me, but I'm using PAM. It may be that the bug is only in the non-PAM codepath. I doubt this specific problem is locale related. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
