Anyone have a good eregi filter for passwords?
well, for one thing, don't use ereg. Use pcre, as it is faster. preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5,16}$/',$blah); that will validate a password containing only upper or lowercase letters and numbers, between 5 and 16 characters.
So "aaaaa" is a good password?
It's an excelent password. I think you should change your root password to that on all systems you have root on. Oh, and another thing....send me the IP's to those machines. ;) -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
