I have Minlen=0 in the /etc/security/user file..does that mean that users can login without a password????

Is there a way to ensure that users do have passwords?
 
Even though minlen=0 still user needs at least 1 character in passwd field to login.

Change default minlen setting in /etc/security/user or add something like this under every user.

test:
admin = false
pwdwarntime = 7
histsize = 3
maxage = 1
minlen = 6
minalpha = 1
minother = 1
maxrepeats = 2
mindiff = 2
