I see. as you said, only "Bad password" is too vague, but "msg" can explain something.

Right. Perhaps starting with "Weak Password" as the caption, and then
explaining a bit more.
Thank you, so I changed the caption from "Bad Password" to
"Weak Password". (But any other messages are same as passwd command's)


2-1. If "No" button is pressed, you need to retry to input a password.
2-2. If "Yes" button is pressed, you do NOT need to retry to input a
     password, you can use a dictionary word password like "anaconda".
I'm sorry for my poor English, and if I misuderstood what you mean,
please let me know.

I understand that as a reasonable compromise behavior, but in the CDs I give
out to people, I'd prefer there not to be any option to use a dictionary
word at all. (If there's a way to shoot themselves in the foot, people will
take it.)
Thank you. I see, so I'll reconsider the options later.

Currently I think that it is better that the behavior of root password
validation would be similar to passwd command.
passwd command can continue with weak password for "root"(with only warning)
(passwd command can not continue with weak password for "non-privilege users")

thanks,

(The attached patch is changed the caption from "Bad Password" to "Weak Password")
