On the subject of secure passwords, you might want to consult the Web page we created for CSE101 at Michigan State University, a CS course which enrolls ~2000 students per semester.
http://aral.cse.msu.edu/CSE101US03/CSE101Student/CommonToAllTracks/FAQ/Passw ord.html This is a fairly exhaustive treatment of the subject and describes good and bad passwords. See particularly the end of the file about the creation of mnemonic passwords. _________________________________________________ Dr. Don Weinshank Professor Emeritus Comp.
