[Mailman-Developers] Serious problem with password generation

[Sean Reifschneider]

One of our list members just sent a complaint in about Mailman.  He was
going on vacation and had requested the software send him his password
so he could modify his subscription.  Upon getting the e-mail from
mailman, he found that his password was "pudd", which he took personally.
;-)

Perhaps we need something to check the passwords generated against
a list of known offensive passwords?  Then we could have a configuration
option to give PREFERENCE to the offensive passwords.

After I stopped laughing, the user was told not to take it so
personally.  :-)
