hi,

  i would like to ask how many valid characters does a password compose of? my 
password is something like 'blacks00t' (note the two zeroes in the last word). my 
colleague has also access to it and has the nasty habit of logging in and killing my 
browser for the heck of it. i tried changing the password to 'blacks00t17' and all 
tokens were reported to have been updated successfully. the only problem is that when 
i su to root and try giving 'blacks00t' as the password, the su works and i am given a 
root shell. 

is this a bug? or am i missing a known issue here? i know the thing is to change the 
password to something different but i am curious about this point.

ciao!

P.S.

   pardon to civileme if i CC him instead of waiting for him in the list but i think 
this is really important to garner his attention.
