That is what I meant when I said "The only place this presents a weakness is if one section is easier to crack and it is possible to deduce the other section without having to crack the second section." Passwords should not have words and phrases in it. If you pick a proper, random password, (meaning both sections are random) then I believe the weakness resulting from the LM method doesn't matter. If the password is: 1234567 1234567 #FS1gws $Sv5 What does it matter? -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer James Madison University ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
