What did it show the reason for not allowing it as?

It should print that on the bottom... the return from libpwquality.

I don't know.  I ran the install again, today, and that password is now 
"Good" instead of "Weak".  I guess someone changed the pwquality 
configuration in the install images?

Odd. The last libpwquality change was in Aug. 

Glad it's working for you now.

Password policy not consistent

2015-10-17 Thread Gordon Messmer 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Standardized_passphrase_policy

I wanted to note that the policy doesn't seem to be standardized, as 
intended.  On 10/16, I installed Fedora using the pxeboot images from:

http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/development/23/

During installation, I created a new user account, which would not 
accept the password that I intended to use.  That password is nine 
characters long, contains numbers and capital letters, was generated 
randomly by "mkpasswd", does not repeat any letters, and does not 
resemble any words that I'm aware of.


After installation, that user was able to use "passwd" to set the same 
password that Anaconda would not accept.
