Sir
How many passwords/users are you considering? You can set up users and
their passwords via the commandline, and while Linux will complain, at
least both RedHat and Mandrake 7.1 will allow you to *use* a silly
password. Once you see "password authenticated" it has been setup,
regardless of how easy it is to crack.
Our company is small enough that we set up less than 1 user a month, so I
simply input the info on the command line instead of using the gui provided
by Mandrake.
Anybody else have any brilliant ideas?
But do, please, bug them to update their passwords.
