WARNING: do NOT try out the following.  This is only a joke.

  Here is rather amusing "program": (csh users: prepend the 
word "set" to its third line).
--------------------
echo -n 'Old password: '
read old
new=`random 3000 < /usr/dict/words | head -1` 
passwd <<END
$old
$new
$new
END
-------------------

It will set your password to a randomly selected, unknown to
you, word from the dictionary!  (Not funny, you say?)
