The "User Settings" tool doesn't allow user to set a blank password. Steps to reproduce: *) System -> Administration -> User and Groups or) gksu users-admin *) Click on "New User" -> Leave the password fields blank -> OK What happens: This dialog appears: "Password is too short User passwords must be longer than 6 characters and preferably formed by numbers, letters and special characters." What should happen: users-admin should let Richard Stallman create an account (at least with "Desktop user" and "Unprivileged" profiles) ;) However, it should show a (red) message box under the text entry (maybe a web2.0-style box) [GNOME version: 2.18.1 on Feisty] ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Confirmed -- [users-admin] blank password not allowed https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/bugs/109647 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
