Subject: Re: Re: cannot change password using "passwd" command
Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2002 18:41:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020104024124.2622.qmail@web21202.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
For account policy in both local server and domain
server, the minimum character for password is 0.
Moreover, I can use user account to change password in
w2k GUI (ie. CTRL+ALT+DEL --> change password), with
the same set of password tried in Cygwin.
I don't want user use the console, so I hope they can
change their password using telnet.
Would you mind to help me ? THanks
