- Along those lines, there's another problem with this feature. I added
- the secure_passwords property to the security property in / in my
- network domain. The secure_passwords value is supposed to make it
- that people must choose good passwords. It does, but only for
- /etc/passwd, not in Preferences.app. Most of my users use Preferences
- to change their password. So the security option didn't help out
- much. I'd call it a bug. The property should be universal to password
- changing, not just command line.
