After completing my Kubuntu installation, I rebooted and logged in using my shiny new password 'a' and dropped to a shell. I tried changing my password via the passwd command, but the default policy there requires at least 6 chars, not 1 and also checks against a dictionary for simple passwords.

I also tried changing my password using the "Change Password" option in System Settings/Account Information and it too refused to allow me to set a single char password.

This is a BIG problem, IMO...
