Description Bob Robertson 2006-03-12 22:13:22 UTC

Version:           1.1.3 (using KDE 3.0.3)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-10

Cant change my password from the same as user name to a made up word, because it is supposadly "based on a (reversed) dictionary word".  It is not a backwards word.  I looked it up on onelook.com there were no similar words backwords or forwards.  Google used to find 0 pages if searched for the word.  Now it finds two.  It would be ok if it suggested I not have my password be that, but not allowing it is stupid.

This has nothing to do with Konsole.  Try the same thing in xterm, you'll get the same error.  I would advice asking in a Red Hat forum or simply pick a different password.
