Have you read this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/se...3.en.html#s3.4
I don't personally use spaces in linux, never, ever. If something needs a char between words I use an underscore.
I've been reading an article about the newest rage in Windoze security: password phrases. Passwords are out. Pass phrases are in at M$.
Pass phrases are very easy to remember and can be pretty long without too much extra typing hassle.
I was wondering what the length limit is on a pass phrase in Knoppix?
Does it do spaces? (I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd test it)

I can see the logic of not using spaces. A dead give away word separator.
OK, I read about MD5. I don't recall this in the Knoppix install.
Is it an add on utility?

md5 is something you should activate as it increases the significant characters in your password to more than 8. All explained in that link a lot better than I could do.
In a nutshell, say you have the following passwd: goodpass£TFJ8-#:
Without md5 only the first 8 chars would be used and "goodpass" isn't really a good password
