minpasswordlen and login.conf not working on 6 or 7 series

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Actually I have read it but haven't read all the man pages because
even in 7.0 manual page for login.conf still have:

 minpasswordlen    number	 6	   The minimum length a local password may be.

I think that line should be removed from manual page too.

Regards, thanks for the fast reply.
