On a related note, Anaconda, GNOME, KDE etc seems to be relying on different rules about what an acceptable password is. We really need to settle on one library and provide a consistent way to tweak it."Everything" (certainly Anaconda and GNOME, not sure about KDE) is supposed to use libpwquality. Is that not so?
They are definitely not enforcing the same rules.
One obvious area of inconsistency is that some of the tools _warn_ on weak passwords, and some _block_ on weak passwords. We should standardize on one or the other of those.
