Hmm Yes I get complaints, Minumim password length is currently 4
characters, far too low but better than nothing, I guess. I just have
to work out who these people are and tell them off......

We stopped using LDAP we it needed 3 members of staff just to get it
to work badly, Currently all our passwords are stored in a Postgres
Database its so much simpler than the LDAP.
