Root Password Must Be Weak?

[Metta Crawler]

Hi,

With much alacrity I invested what time I could find into installing
Dragonfly BSD 3 but much to my chagrin I discovered that when I went
to set the root password I was greeted by this message:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lO7b6z934sI/T0Y5Q2QzwuI/AAAAAAAAAHw/1cJpheYCoDo/s726/dfly-root-pw.png

The message commences with the text "root password field may not
contain" and goes on to contain many figure-symbols which I have been
led to believe are beneficial for increasing the strength of a
password.

Is it not possible at all to use colon, semi-colon, comma, back quote,
tilde, exclamation mark, commercial at sign, sharp sign, dollar sign,
percent sign, carat, ampersand, asterisk, parenthesis, plus sign,
equals sign, curly braces, square brackets, backslash, vertical bar,
slash, question mark, greater than, less than, single quote and/or
double quote in a root password or is this an issue with the text
entry field of the installer?

Thanks

Hi - I'm afraid you're on the wrong group - this one is for the Dragonfly Ruby gem

I'll never forgive Google for what they have done to deja news.
