Complex passwords
Hello,
I'm writing a script to enable non-UNIX types at my work to be able to
administrate customer accounts. I'm fairly pleased with what I've got,
but I've got a question.
The passwd command runs a complexity check on what is entered, and tells
you if you're picking a password that's too easy. However, entering
that password again makes passwd accept it. This isn't so good - I'd
like to force these "administrators" to choose complex passwords. As it
stands, one can hit the enter key three times and passwd will enter a
null password!
The manpage doesn't show me an obvious way to disable this behavior of
the passwd command (accepting easy passwords). Is there a way?
Thanks!
