The rules only apply to users changing their passwords. As the
administrator you can type in whatever you like from the
Server/Workgroup Admin panel. Typically, I generate a random password,
give that to the user, then allow them to change it to something
they'll remember, but that meets my password rules.

change their password the rules would be enforced.

What would cause password rules not to be enforced (in Mac OS X
Server, 10.3.8). In Server Admin, Open Directory>Authentication has
various items checked, such as Password must be at least 6 characters
long, contain at least one letter, and so on. However, I can then
create a new user account in Workgroup Manager that violates these
rules.
Thanks,
