password security?

2007-12-25 9:27:00

     I got three answers. Two of which pointed me at different packages:

npasswd, and SSH. And one said why change passwd? To which I have the

following anecdote:

Admin: What's the problem?

User: How do I change my password?

Admin: Type passwd.

User: Ok. Lemme try. Nope.

Admin: How are you spelling passwd?

User: 'password'.

Admin: No it's 'passwd' just like it's pronounced.

So I want to change it because it's spelled incorrectly!!!

npasswd can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/cc/unix/software/npasswd

SSH can be found at various sites one of which is

ftp://ftp.cs.hut.fi/pub/ssh/ssh-1.2.25.tar.gz
