Description of problem: When entering the root password during an install, a space character is rejected as "not being an ascii character". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phoebe-3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try entering a password containing a space 2. 3. Actual results: error message about password containing a non-ascii character Expected results: password would be accepted Additional info: Last time I looked ASCII (not ascii) characters went from 00 (nul) to 7f (del). You probably do not want people using control characters but I cannot see any reason to forbid a space character. The error message text is wrong and the code that tests for invalid characters is to restrictive.
