======================

is a teddy bear head politically correct?

i've *have* tried telling people (customers and friends) that if they 
email me the root password without encrypting it they are subject to 
blackmail, extortion, sabotage, baldness, warts, etc... they never 
listen...

of course, 90% of the root passwords that people give me would fall to a 
dictionary attack within hours. at least i only have 1 client who still 
uses telnet over the public internet (he logs in as admin and su's to 
root! he learned unix in the US military!).
