How do I relax the password requirements in Fedora?

I though adjusting /etc/pam.d/system-auth was were the changed needed to
be made, I made this change:

#password    requisite     pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type=
password    sufficient    pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass
#use_authtok
password    required      pam_deny.so

but Fedora still seems to be strict on password requirements.  So either I
attacked the wrong file or made the wrong changes.

Any pointers to where I should be making my changes?

You can remove pam_cracklib from the chain, change it to "optional" or
change its parameters. Check "man pam_cracklib" for how it works and
the parameters it accepts. Personally, I'd leave it "requisite" and
change its parameters to accommodate your relaxed restrictions.
