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. ;)

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.
