 |

Hi all,
The command 'passwd' is asking for my new password twice.
Here is what I see:
| Quote: |
# passwd
New password:
Retype new password:
You can now choose the new password or passphrase.
A good password should be a mix of upper and lower case letters,
digits, and other characters. You can use an 8 character long
password.
A passphrase should be of at least 3 words, 8 to 40 characters
long, and contain enough different characters.
Alternatively, if noone else can see your terminal now, you can
pick this as your password: "sue!assist_leader".
Enter new password:
Re-type new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
#

How do I only show:
| Quote: |
Enter new password:
Re-type new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
|
Here is what I have installed:
| Quote: |
# emerge pambase pam -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/pam-1.1.0 USE="audit cracklib test vim-syntax -debug -nls (-selinux)" 484 kB
[ebuild R ] sys-auth/pambase-20090620.1-r1 USE="consolekit cracklib gnome-keyring mktemp passwdqc sha512 ssh -debug (-selinux)" 0 kB

Did you try a more complicated password?
I am not certain, but I think something like Far1045D12f5 shouldn't produce a warning.

| It looks like having both cracklib and passwdqc in the USE flags causes this. I took out the passwdqc flag since it produced the verbose output. |
