What governs the password restrictions on redhat 8? I set up one system selecting medium security and was able to setup a user account having a password of only 4 letters. I set up another with low security and it wont let me setup the same account as before. It tells me the password is too short. (?) As a side note, "security" is not a real issue here, I need ease of use, so I really do want the short username and password.

I think this should be intepreted this way:
- For medium security, you give a short password, does the system totally disallow you to create the account or just give you a warning.

Try to check whether the account that you just create is been created?

I had had a few guest level account having password like 123, abc, test1 ...

The security levels mentioned during installation of a Red Hat system is concerning the firewall security. That is what network services do we let through our firewall.
