Hi Frank,

Correct.

Yes, that's mostly done in base-user, which handles user creation and 
modifications of user accounts.

Scroll to the end of this URL to see how it works:

> So from now on, all users must use "difficult" passwords, right?

That's right.

Existing passwords are not affected. The strong password check is only used 
when a new user is created, or when the password of an existing user is 
changed through the GUI.
