NAME
passwd - modify the system administrative users password
SYNOPSIS
passwd
DESCRIPTION
passwd changes the filers administrative users password. First it prompts you
for the login name (if any non-root users are configured). Then it prompts you for
the current password. If you type the current password correctly, the filer
requests a new password. The passwd command imposes no minimum length
or special character requirements for root . As with any password, it is best to
choose a password unlikely to be guessed by an intruder. All non-root administra-
tive users password should meet the following restrictions:
- it should be at least 6 characters long
- it should contain at least two alphabets
- it should contain at least one digit or special character
If the filer is booted from floppy disk, selection (3) Change password
enables you to reset the root password without entering the old
password.
