Thanks very much for the further advice, roberts, which I haven't had the opportunity to acknowledge before now. I'll definitely follow it.

Thanks again,

Leslie

PS While looking into passwords generally, I found a page called "Password Recovery Speeds, How long will your password stand up". I thought it was very interesting. The URL was www.lockdown.co.uk/?pg=combi&s=articles.


URL no worky man :( but I found it anyway... thank you showing it to a girlfriend so she can understand why i tried to teach her to use more secure pwords.

Apologies for the wrong URL, avellne, but glad you got it anyway. It did bring home to me, in a direct way that I hadn't ever concentrated on before, the practical differences between different types of passwords.

Apologies again,

Leslie
I'm trying to use WinSCP to copy files to my DSL 2.3 lappy. I am prompted for a sesson userid and password. I did not set any password for users 'root' or 'dsl.' I opted to leave them blank during the install. However, I am prompted for a password in order to establish the SCP connection. Pressing 'enter' to leave it blank doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I guess you could open a shell

type sudo su
passwd root (new password)
passwd dsl (new password)

fire up sshd using the dsl panel

WinSCP away...

Can I automate this through bootlocal.sh?
