Don't force random passwords on people!

[revc at marlin.UUCP]

Our system supplies the users with a list of 10
random strings, with vowels in the correct location,
which are "almost" words.  A check against the dictionary
insures that there are no real words.  This allows the
users to 'select' their password, but supplies the
needed random factor at the same time.

We had a major problem with user-ids and passwords
being IDENTICLE!
