restrict trivial password
Trivial passwords were still allowed. Fourteen users were found to have weak passwords. Weak passwords increase the risk of unauthorised access being gained to the system and information resources.

Re: restrict trivial password
Weak password is big security breach always. You can force the user to set complex passwords by many ways.
One option is configure /etc/default/security
file to have complex password for all the user. See man security for more details.
Other option is convert the system into trusted. You can have so many features in trusted system including complex passwords.
Hope this helps
Ganesh.

Re: restrict trivial password
Don't allow them.
>Fourteen users were found to have weak passwords.
Make them change them.
>Weak passwords increase the risk of unauthorised access being gained to the system and information resources.
True.

Re: restrict trivial password
unix *doesn't* know they were "weak", so somebody ran a password cracker to attempt to figure this out. if they didn't supply the list, then either you will have to run the same tool to generate it yourself, or you will have to force everyone to update their passwords.
"man passwd" for details on how to do that. you can enforce password construction rules. I suggest you put the rules in place then force everyone to change there password.
"man security" (i believe) will provide more details on the rules / files needed.

Re: restrict trivial password
Only best way is to track them is by apply some changes to passwd length, by editing /etc/default/security
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=8
Thanks,
Johnson
