What I've been doing instead is using a certain format for the password, something like #:xx637FUbar where the xx part is replaced by a couple of letters based on the name of the machine or system I am connecting to. That means that I have different passwords on every system, but I can still remember them. I guess it is theoretically possible for someone to figure out what I've done, but I think that is very unlikely. Mike
