Are you sure it's not accepting the passwords. My Mdk 7.1 system
(medium security) behaves exactly as our RH 6.2 systems. It complains
about password length etc but accepts them and functions fine. I have
used adduser/passwd from the console, linuxconf from drakconf, user
addition from drakconf, and webmin. They all accept a user of joe with
a password of joe. They DO loudly complain about the password being bad
(too short or dictionary) but they accept it just fine. If you're
certain it's not accepting the users with the 'bad' passwords then I
can't imagine what it might be. My system does.
Have you tried webmin?
http://127.0.0.1:10000 (or http://localhost:10000 )
from a browser if you want to try. Make sure the service is running if
you don't connect.
