Assumes /usr/dict/words is present.  It also requires reading through a
huge file a few times.  Unfortunately any word-based password scheme is
goin to require something like this.  I guess we could provide a
dictionary...

NB> If longer than eight characters, truncate after the eighth character.

There is no restriction on password length; the only restriction is that it
can't contain whitespace.
