So is there no way to disable the check for weak passwords but leave everything else working the same way?
with PAM there is, in fact they are disabled by default, one the minimum length defined in /etc/login.defs is used. this is controlled by adding or removing the pam_cracklib.so modules from the passwd and login pam configuration files.
since AFAIK slink does not use PAM there is no way to disable these checks without recompiling all the password utilities. (other then changing the passwd with the root account which is immune to such things.)
