mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686 is corrupted. I can't login with the
root account. I was able to do so till last week.
I trying to follow the instructions on resetting the passwd, but I get the
following err msg.

Hi,
I`ve found that everytime you change a password using the passwd command it will give
you the message you are getting, it is just a standard warning no matter what account
you are changing. It just basically says that the password you have entered is not

First, thanks again to all for the responses.
Summarizing the responses, the gist was that MD5 is more secure, may
take more resources, but the big advantage seemed to be that it would
take longer than 8 character passwords. I guess that would make a

To add to Anand's answer (in a separate e-mail), MD5 allows you to use
passwords that are 256 characters in length.
Note: If you have the shipping version of RH 7.2, you should apply the PAM
updates to fix a bug with PAM and passwords that are > 8 characters.

if you're changing your own password then just do:
passwd
if you're logged in as root to change someone else's password do:
passwd username
and... well... that's about it! :)
man passwd
may help you too!
