Hello Dhiraj, thanks for the report. The passwd utility assumes root
knows best and allows root to set any password to anything no matter how
poor.
You can use the pam_cracklib(8) PAM module to enforce some minimum
quality levels for your passwords when users set their own -- but of
course frustrated users may pick bad passwords this module doesn't know
how to discover.
Thanks
