The best defence against a dictionary attack is to set the system value

QPWDRQDDGT to 1, to prevent plain English words being used. Try to devise

a scheme using a combination of the QPWD* system values to enforce robust

passwords without alienating your users by making it next to impossible

to generate a memorisable valid password.

What are good, useful tips to give to users to help them with their choice
in passwords? Perhaps we can compile a handy-dandy list to be passed out? 
My favorite tip is:

- Use the first letter from each word in an easily memorized phrase.  For
example: "I am John, aged 32" would become  "IaJa32".
