You then need to specify an email address and the superuser (root)
password. The password must have at least 5 characters, but we highly
recommend to use stronger passwords - here are some guidelines:
- Use a minimum password length of 12 to 14 characters.
- Include lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers and symbols.
- Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, dictionary words,
letter or number sequences, usernames, relative or pet names,
romantic links (current or past) and biographical information (e.g.,
ID numbers, ancestors' names or dates).
It is sometimes necessary to send notification to the system
administrator, for example:
- Information about available package updates.
- Error messages from periodic CRON jobs.
All those notification mails will be sent to the specified email
address.
