Turn it off?
Ever see what happens when the dumbass in marketing changes the password of the "Sales" account/email to sales to make easy for everyone to access?

Subject: [BlueOnyx:09315] Password Enforcement

It's getting very annoying trying to create user passwords which don't get sent back for being "too short" or "based on a dictionary word" when they are no such thing. The result is very stupid passwords which are inherently insecure as the user will have to keep them written down. 

Is there any way to amend the policy, or to just turn it off??
