I was just informed that passwords for an MSU Net id can only
be 6 to 8 characters, alpha or numeric only, no other characters
allowed, case insensitive.

   This is news to me.  Is this really true?  I just got this from a
consultant.  I'm having a hard time believing this.  I've been
encouraging my people to make up longer passwords, sigh.
