- I've had a couple problems with some of my users changing passwords.
- For some reason, there are 2 restriction on passwords, 1) they must be
- 8 characters, and 2 they must have both upper and lower case letters in
- them. The first is OK, but the second is rediculous on my system.
- Is there a way to set these? or to enable or disable different
- security features in passwd?
