> While the `root` password may be weak and `chpasswd` won't care do make sure to set a zpool password that meets ZFS' complexity rules. Per `man 7 zfsprops` section `keyformat` the only requirement is a length "between 8 and 512 bytes" (as in minimum 8 characters). If you pick a password that's too weak ZFS will reject zpool creation and very ungracefully derail the rest of this script. The script doesn't check what you're setting.
The script does create a second user named `build` but doesn't set a password on account creation. As such no password variable can be set for it in `./archzbm_settings.env`. It's intended as a helper for system setup tasks such as `sudo -u build paru -S <package>` where an account password is irrelevant since `root` can always `sudo` whatever it wants. You will not be able to log in to the `build` account yourself although you certainly could set a password for it. Instead we suggest you create a proper user account for yourself. Your newly installed Arch Linux comes with an `/etc/motd` greeting that summarizes this as: The script does create a second user named `build` but doesn't set a password on account creation.
