Matt,

thanks for the links and I will take this thread up with your personally.

For everyone else, my blog deals with security and risk and there are
quite a few post on password topics. You may be interested in a post
on how to count restricted password
spaces<http://lukenotricks.blogspot.com/2008/03/counting-restricted-password-spaces.html>,
or an overview of NIST's
approach increasing password complexity through entropy
arguments<http://lukenotricks.blogspot.com/2008/03/nist-passwords-and-entropy.html>
.

No shameless promotion intended :-)
