BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word

[Steven Pierce]

Mike,

Yes, that is a message.  I did a change of a new uers passwd last night.  I kept getting this
message also.  Type the passwd again, and hit enter.  It will tell you that it has taken.

I was also getting a message that it was a word in the dict.  It was a persons name
that I was using.
