Hi all, I would like to ask what is the reason for man afterboot discouraging the usage of the space character in root passwords.
> Root password > Change the password for the root user. (Note that throughout the > documentation, the term ``superuser'' is a synonym for the root user.) > Choose a password that has digits and special characters *(not space)* as > well as from the upper and lower case alphabet. Is there a reason for '(not space)' being included in that passage? The passwd utility seems pretty happy taking up the space character. Was it not the case in the past?
