[net.unix-wizards] password selection

I have always personally favored Welsh and Gaelic passwords (and was
roundly denounced by my fellows ! they couldn't remember them). They
come in all lengths, and don't make any linguistic sense at all.

Why should anyone be roundly or any-other-shape-ly be denounced for using
Welsh/Gaelic passwords?  I thought the whole idea was so you could remember
them and no one else....

Whilst having easy names for common ids people should log in as, I have gone
out of my way to think of unintelligible passwords for me and the superuser
here.
