cracklib. Select a password that cannot be guessed, so do not use your own
date of birth, street name, or the name of your favorite star. It should not be

mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters as well as digits.
It is also important to have a password that you can easily remember and
do not need to write down. A good method of establishing a password is to

AuaEGC (all UNIX admins eat green cheese)
O10imBd (On the 10th it’s my birthday)
IwihagP (I wish I had a good password)
