Leif, where is this encrypted password file?  Is it in a place where any
user can read it?

as far as the 7 characters are concerned, no it does not apply, but
the dictionary attack still works, because one does actually not decrypt
the password. You just have to use all the characters of the
password. To enlarge the "key space" one should vary the case
of the password, e.g. My@PaSword539.
