$ cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
I can still use a password of 1 character. This is on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE i386. I have tried this on a 4.8 system and this works fine, did I miss something in the release notes?
Below are the steps I took for 5.1
$ vim /etc/login.conf
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
:welcome=/etc/motd:\
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
:path=/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin ~/bin:\

$ cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf $ passwd -l test Changing local password for test. New password: a Retype new password: a passwd: updating the database... passwd: done $
On 4.8, edits to login.conf are the same, and I get this for passwd: $ passwd -l test Changing local password for mcarlson. New password: a Please enter a password at least 8 characters in length New password: ^c Password unchanged. passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged $
