If you run passwd as your own user, compared to passwd as root changing your user password, you will see that running passwd as your own user will result in the same result as running the password change from System Settings (You recieve a passwd is too short message). The only time you can avoid the "password to short" message, is when running passwd as root. -- Sincerely, William Brown pgp.mit.edu http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x3C0AC6DAB2F928A2
