[Bug 1591129] Re: password is frequently rejected

[sally]

Should there be a long sequence of letters and numbers after root and my
user name in /etc/shadow?  I changed my password again and it seems to be working
okay for the moment.  Could a comma in my previous password have caused an issue?
Thank you.
