user password, and where is the minimum password length defined?
A.
Default minimum length is 8, and is defined in /etc/default/password.
B.
Default minimum length is 6, and is defined in /etc/default/password.
C.

E.
Default minimum length is 8, and is defined in /usr/sadm/defadduser.

Explanation:
By default, the passwd command assumes a minimum length of six characters. You can use the
PASSLENGTH default in the /etc/defaults/passwd files to change that by setting the minimum number of
characters that a user’s password must contain to some other number.
