Hi Ray,

It means that none of your passwords are weak (Importantly though: only
to the rules of the PL/SQL cracker, i.e. username=password, dictionary
word, default password and password <= 4 characters are checked though,
you need to use a stronger cracker written in C to test longer passwords
and huge dictionaries). The one result you got is for a default role and
the password is global so its not weak.

cheers

Pete
