For BAUDerLine, I use two happily (I'd probably be happier with three, one
at packet level too), one for on-line (well, one from a small set, bloody
Ezy wants a chenge every few logons) and one for sessions (hmmm... must be
nearly time for a change, I've been using this one for ages...)

Most of my passwords start life as ordinary words and are then folded,
spindled and mutilated to make them resistant to dictionary attack... Or
are words so unlikely that no dictionary would be likely to contain them,
like mentula - latin for penis (in a scatalogical sense)...
