Wierd passwd problem
Hi Guys,
I got a particular weird passwd problem with one particular debian
machine that I am using... apparently, whether you input a password
with a special character, the system still thinks its the
same as the password without the special character...
for example, if my password is testing123$
the system would actually allow a valid login with either testing123
or testing123$ as the valid password!
In addition, I noticed passwd sometimes gives the error "passwd:
Authentication information cannot be recovered" when I try changing
the password...
Anyone could give me a hand in this please?
