Get pwgen package; it generates easy to remember (but hopefully difficult to guess) and also secure (difficult to type and remember) passwords. BTW, does anyone use MD5 for /etc/shadow? I'd like to use it, but how do "migrate" from crypt() to MD5? I don't think that just changing the entry in the config file (/etc/login.conf?) would be sufficient. >Maybe add your favorite number at > the end or start.
