Another password-type question from me today! not connected to the previous question tho: passwd seems to insist (even when root), on enforcing a rule about not allowing all lower-case passwords. I have grepped /etc/login.conf and didn't see anything (man passwd says it uses /etc/login.cap(5), but it ain't there on my system). Also, man passwd seems to imply the lower case rule is inherent to passwd - is this the case, and if not, how can I avoid the restriction? (Please, no lectures on why the rule is a Good Thing - the person who wants this password is more "important" than me). Thanks, Adam.
