| comparison between this list and the DEC supplied dictionary shows a few words
| on this common password list that aren't in DEC's dictionary.  These
| passwords are:
|
|       guessit
|       asshole
|       badass
|       compareall
|       condom
|       debbie
|       deborah
|       eatme
|       mogul
|       reagan

OK, I can understand why DEC might be embarrassed to ship its corporate
bigwig customers a component of VMS with something like "asshole" buried
inside, but who on earth is Deborah, and what is special about her name?
Were those names the only ones on the original list?  Or did that list
contain others, of which only "deb{bie,orah}" were elided by KO's henchmen?
And whichever the case, why?  Inquiring minds hunger for enlightenment.
