Should we only do what other Distros do? Can LFS not be innovative and take a lead in something, and have other Distros follow us?
That's not really what I meant to imply. Of course I'm not all about just doing what everyone else is doing - if I were I wouldn't be associated with this project at all. :) But I think there is some merit in having as core the utilities and functionality that people are more or less familiar with. As an example, I came across a post in some forum somewhere where a user was perplexed at how we managed to set up the network on the LiveCD without there being ifconfig anywhere on the CD. :) (Don't read this as a cry for the restoration of net-tools...)
Surely Distros must use CrackLib, I mean the Shadow and Linux-PAM packages natively support it. I'm not sure they would if nobody used CrackLib. Right?
*shrug* Seems reasonable.
None that I can think of, unless forcing you to be the root user to make your password "Jeremy" on your local system is a disadvantage. :-)
pfff. I would *never* use "Jeremy" as a password. I always swap my 'e's for '3's like any l33t user should ;)
