That little dot at the end says "use the current directory as the target directory." There has to be a space as separator before the period or it won't work. The period is actually a (very short) parameter, not a terminator as in text. BTW since I cut my Linux eyeteeth back in the day when it came on multiple 5.5" floppy images (i.e. original Slackware) I am used to operating as the root user or administrator when it is useful to do so. Hence when using a Debian derivative partition (Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu or my favorite: Knoppix) I do this command one time: sudo passwd root myfavoritepassword
