<pre wrap="">Hello,
When I just tried to change password of my user account,
"/usr/bin/passwd" returned me messages like following:
-----
[((username))@localhost ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user ((username)).
Changing password for ((username)).
(current) UNIX password: New UNIX password: BAD PASSWORD: it is based
on a dictionary word
New UNIX password: BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
New UNIX password: BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
-----
and I cannot change my password. It is true that I had type a simple
English word, but when I did with root, it only alerts me once and I
was able to change the root password. Please tell me whethere this is
normal happening or not.
Thanks,
Makoto Mizukami

<pre wrap=""><!---->Even if it is allowed in Fedora, would you really want a simple password
like this?
I'd suggest you choose a different password, maybe through the use of
pwgen or a different password-generator (though those are kinda hard to
remember).
