What I did was to login as root or su. Create the user, give them a 6 character password, then type:
Passwd username newpassword It will tell you the min password length is 6 char. But it will take it.

I changed the value of PASS_MIN_LEN from 5 to 4 and rebooted, but I still can't make passwords with less than 6 characters. Anybody got any ideas?
