Well, I'll go along with password aging, but I (like many system
administrators) have logins on 20+ systems.  If I had to have 20+ logins,
I'd have to write them down and I consider *that* more of a security problem.
(I do have more than one, however.)  Since we age passwords every four weeks,
changing them is a pain--luckily we have a remote access capability on many of
our systems that helps.
