Hi misc@-readers! I have once more read man afterboot(8) and a question came up related to the superuser's password.
In section 'root password' advisory is given to "choose a password that has digits and special characters (not space)". This last advice is what I do not understand - all of my passwords have spaces, including root's, and I never noticed any drawbacks. Actually I consider spaces within a password to be a security feature making it a 'passphrase' which should be harder to crack (yes - it is as looong password for root ;-) ) Now: Is this advice in afterboot(8) 'out-of-date' or am I just lucky?
