--- Comment #1 from Marek Zarychta <zarychtam@plan-b.pwste.edu.pl> ---
This requirement, AFAIR lying in ZFS code, should probably be relaxed,
especially since pam_zfs_key.so, when invoked by passwd(1), allows setting a
shorter password.
Workaround: create a user with a long password using adduser(8), and then
change the password with passwd(1), which will update the dataset password to
be shorter than 8 characters.
