Hello,

What control password checks in the absence of cracklib? If I disable
cracklib I am supposed to use any password that I want. But system refuses
to take password less than five characters? I have changed /etc/login.defs
but no help. I want to know password strength checking is part of shadow
package or there is some other file which control password strength checking
in the absence of cracklib?

Thank you

Regards,

Komal
