Most places I've seen that try to make a ridiculously simple password
scheme do things like append the app name to the users initials and
make the users initials the password, or something equally stupid.  So
I agree with Mark, the cracking is scary, and I agree with Pete, should
check all known default passwords.  I mean, when the real worm gets
written, isn't that what it is going to do?  Besides put up a fake form
to enter username/password, of course :-O
