In all honesty, if you value the security of your system, you don't.

Good day,
how do you allow the use of short passwords in linux? short passwords as
in single character passwords. I've tried making changes to
'/etc/login.defs' and to the pam config
Hi Pilip. root can set a user's passwd to anything you want, but..
DON'T DO IT !!
Passwords this short are just a waste of the user's time at login. If you
are going to have them that short you might as well not have any at all.
Cracking 1 letter passwords is so easy it can be done
it's a testing environment. i don't need security on a stand alone
machine that's underneath my table. :)

In that case, as was noted elsewhere, why bother with a login or password
at all?
However, unless your table is some place where nobody at all can get to
it, it's just as insecure as if it were on a network.

Like he said...as root, change the user's password via passwd user

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

Since you have been given all the warnings but no help.
I was able to do this as root:
[root@bretsony root]# adduser testdude
[root@bretsony
did that before asking here, try logging on as that user or just 'su -'
to that user and change your password to another single char password.
it won't allow that user to change it
