Is it okay to change user/root passwords from ssh?

Will it break any of Bubba's scripts if I change the root password away from excito? What about changing the user passwords from ssh to passwords that don't respect the webmin's desire for only letters and numbers?

Thanks.

Changing the root password is no problem, as nothing in the system utilize that. Regarding user password, I have to look into that. Only the user name should be limited to numbers and letters.

Thanks for looking into it. I like to have passwords with !@#$%^&*() stuff thrown about, so I quickly found out these were being considered "invalid".

I would really appreciate it if Bubba would accept these characters in passwords from the Web-interface.
