A bunch of years ago, I took my first UNIX class at the local university. The instructor was pretty biased against mainframes in general.
One of the first assignments was to set a password in the class UNIX system that she could not crack using cracker software. The password also had to have a published meaning. Beating the cracker carried bonus pounts equal to a midterm. Having had enough of her anti-mainframe rants, I used a documented acronym from the EREP manual. One other student used one from the VTAM manual. Out of about 150 students across several sections of the class, we were the only two to beat the cracker. So sweet - especially the part presenting to the class what the password was and passing around its documentation. :))) Linda Sent from my iPhone On Jan 22, 2013, at 12:52 PM, Tony Harminc <[email protected]> wrote: > On 22 January 2013 09:10, Bill Ashton <[email protected]> wrote: >> One of my favorites is lollipop - 4 characters, one hand... > > There are more English words that are left hand only (on a QWERTY > keyboard) than right. > > Fraser Street.
