Thank you, Jim, for being a voice of reason. I should give the benefit
of the doubt before getting that annoyed.
I disabled rhgb and added early-login, that by itself didn't get past
the password requirement. Aren't there init scripts that early-login
requires? I'm having yum search for anything with "early" in it, but no
dice so far, I'll do some googling to make sure I'm not overlooking
something before filing a bugzilla.
