Do repeated words in a PGP passphrase make the pass phrase less secure than a passphrase without any repeated words? And on the same note, do repeated letters in a UNIX password make that password easier to break? I can't seem to find anything in my books on cryptography that mention this. Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ Ted Cabeen cabeen@netcom.com Finger for PGP Public Key secabeen@midway.uchicago.edu "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." cococabeen@aol.com
