Sean,
Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose.
Of course the past is with us: look at Bob
Metcalfe's RFC 602 (1973). Have we fixed
anything over the nearly 30 years? How
recently have you seen a password on a Post-It?
How many folks have their spouse's/significant other's/
offspring's name as a password?
How many uninstalled fixes can dance on a port?
