Password woes!

Hi All,

I'm currently running a Web hosting firm in Singapore, and things have been flowing smoothly. Currently, I've written a password changing script in CGI, and it works fine.

However some of my customers complained that the password changing script is complaining that their passwords are based on a dictionary word, too short etc etc.

I traced the problem, and found it lies with /usr/bin/passwd. It requires a user to change a password that are not too short and are NOT baed on a dictionary word.

Is it possible for me NOT to have this? I would like my customers to be able to change to any password they like. Is there anyway I can find out more information about this?

Thanks for any assistance.

The servers are based on RedHat 7.2.
