     Passphrases are a good way with keys

     There was a discussion a while ago regarding this that I
     instigated regarding using alt characters in the password
     ie at start or beginning

     Number for and a few against were the results

     I am currently coming up with a new policy to create
     root/admin passwords for windows and linux boxes and would
     like to know your thoughts on the methods you use to
     create them.  Thanks for any input!
