The Safer Ubuntu

Usually, UNIX-like have weakness (at least that what I though) on password changing. Take the OS X, by default we don't have root password, but we could just $sudo su and then #passwd and tadaa..., we have super users password, we are super user.

but take a look at my ubuntu terminal

nugroho@ubuntu:~$ passwd
Changing password for nugroho.
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Bad: new and old password are too similar
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
nugroho@ubuntu:~$ passwd
Changing password for nugroho.
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Sorry, passwords do not match
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
nugroho@ubuntu:~$
nugroho@ubuntu:~$ passwd
Changing password for nugroho.
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
nugroho@ubuntu:~$
.
