When you are root at a console prompt, the passwd command will accept short passwords. The gui tool won't even try. This is expected. If you try using the text mode passwd command as a normal user to change the user's own password, it should not permit a short password. -- ********************************************************************** Chris Kloiber, RHCE Red Hat,Inc.
