On Sid: zsh % passwd New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully zsh %
But it did not! The old password is still active. And that is the case for all users on the system - root included. I have never seen this before on another machine. Some time ago I have experimented with a test user to test the limits of passwords - trying to see what the effect of spaces in a password was. Could that have broken something?
