If this is the way you're going to react, then it probably is.
If I want an all text no caps no punctuation no numbers password 102
characters long let me do it. *I* am the one who suffers not you dweebs.
Doing it my way I have gone online since 1980 without any problems and
on computers since 1962* without being hacked. I must be doing something
right. If I arrange the computer so that it requires a minute between
password trials how long would it take to guess "grimreap" and hack my
system? How long do you think that source of hacking attempts would have
enough access to get to a password prompt. THAT is security not stupid
password rule enforcement which leads to forgotten passwords.
There was a bug that messed up the root user setting passwords that has
apparently already been fixed (update on the way). If you don't like
users having password quality rules, then disable that. It's up to you,
nobody is forcing you to do anything.
