Passwd's should be no longer the 8 letters no shorter than 5, no
dictionary words, so a passwd like PeT9^G is a valid passwd, and once
logged in there is no reason why that passwd could not be used
without getting errors, on the otherhand use richard and that will
produce all of the above.
Looking at the passwd line below, the system operator did not set a
passwd for "test" to start with, which is a bad thing.
