password restrictions

by damfman . Updated 22 years, 5 months ago

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.
