Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: normal
{root at tea:~}# lppasswd -a root
Enter password: (user types super long and hard to guess password with symbols etc.)
Enter password again: (user repeats the password)
lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected.
Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain
your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
{root at tea:~}#
If the user types a really bad password like "xyz123", lppasswd will accept the password.
