Hi, In practical use the passwordcq settings on the liveCD do not seem appropriate - password complexity should be the choice of the user based on their situation. on the liveCD, sshd is not enabled by default, and while it is modified to accept passwords for root, with that password being scrambled I don't see the benefit of forcing such complexity for a temporary system that will often also be in a safe network, or not up long enough for even weak passwords to be brute forced. enforce=users would work, but in general I doesn't seem to make sense that the utility is installed on the livecd at all.
Can you tell us what livecd ISO you are using? We have disabled passwdqc on pambase last week for some of them, but not all.
Everything is good using install-amd64-minimal-20220619T170540Z, but I was using 20220605 and it was the same about 9 months ago - sorry for not testing with a fresh download, it looks like passwd= boot options is working again now too. Thanks :)
