i got some tips from other lists, they told me to use 'sudo' for it. because only root is allowed to change passwords to single chars. the harder workaround, for me(because im not well adept with hacking codes), is to make changes to the source code of pam. havent gone that deep yet though. :)

the feeling that it is in the compiled code or possibly in the kernel.

But, don't count on my answer, I can barely find an RPM.

Good luck,

Buck

yes sir, i could actually go with any password lesser than 5 but im trying to aim for a single char. only root can change the passwrds of users to a single char but ordinary users can't change their passwords to single characters. im on rh8.0 too. maybe a prayer will do it :D

Philip,

Are you having one of those, "I just need an answer" days? I set one users password to 4 characters in mine for testing purposes.
As root, I changed the password and it fussed, but it took it.
I am using RH 8.0, btw.

Good luck,

Buck
